In a survey regarding the most desired changes to the constitution, the greatest number of respondents say they want fewer MPs, no more than two terms of office for the prime minister and a shorter term of office for the prosecutor general (currently seven years).

The survey, commissioned by the Bulgarian Institute for Legal Initiatives, was presented at a discussion dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the new Bulgarian constitution, BNR’s Silvia Velikova reports.

“If we trace legislation over the past few years we shall see a constant stream of never-ending and, in some cases, controversial changes which presents a danger of constitutional inflation,” warned caretaker Justice Minister Yanaki Stoilov.
