Judges of the Sofia District Court protested in front of the building of the Supreme Judicial Council downtown Sofia to voice their discontent with the new Single Information System of the Bulgarian courts of justice. They are expected to submit another request aimed to solve the problems with the new software. Last week, more than 130 judges from the biggest court said they refused to work with the new programme until a solutioin to their problems was found.

The magistrates sought support from the legal community and called for joint public actions aimed to introduce real online justice amidst the risk of growing pandemic.

Later, Bulgaria’s Minister of Justice Desislava Ahladova commented that the difficulties are due to the short testing period. That is why the Single Information System will be suspended for three months.
