"A request for a hearing of the Prosecutor General in an extraordinary parliamentary session, or a request for a report on specific cases would violate the principle of separation of powers and undermine the independence of the judiciary." This is what Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev has told BTA on the occasion of the extraordinary session of the National Assembly convened tomorrow on the topic of police violence during the protests in 2020.
President of the National Assembly Iva Miteva has told bTV that it was possible to request a hearing of the chief prosecutor in the Legal Affairs Committee, if the parliamentary committees were formed by Wednesday. "According to the Constitution, I have neither the right nor the obligation to control specific cases, or the decisions of magistrates," Ivan Geshev added.
