After 4 hours of discussions, the Plenum of the Supreme Judicial Council has terminated the debate on the request of the Union of Judges in Bulgaria to start a procedure for removal of the Prosecutor General. The item was put on the agenda by the chairman of the Supreme Court of Cassation Lozan Panov, BTA reported.

Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev said the procedure was rather vague and he did not want to take part in confrontation between judges and prosecutors, after which he left the hearing. Critics of the proposal have pointed out that there is no specificity in the alleged violations committed by the Prosecutor General. During the debate in front of the Council building, protesters from extra-parliamentary forces demanded the resignation of the chief prosecutor.
