President Radev to announce motives for disagreeing with changes to the Constitution

At a briefing on Epiphany (January 6), President Rumen Radev said that on Monday (January 8) he would announce the "extensive reasons" with which he will appeal with the Constitutional Court for the changes to the Constitution, which, according to him, are a "brutal and in many respects incompetent encroachment on the Bulgarian Constitution".
In an interview with Euronews on January 7, the former Minister of Justice Anton Stankov stated that Bulgaria was moving towards a Grand National Assembly. He believes that there was a lack of debate during the amendments to the Constitution. 

"The first issue was a criticism of the texts that were in effect. This criticism was not publicized, it was not substantive... When we know what the shortcomings are, we can look for a solution," he said. Another contradiction, according to him, is that "both we have an independent judiciary, part of which is the prosecutor's office, and we have a prosecutor's council dominated by political representatives of the parliament." 

On the issue of the dual citizenship of the ministers, Stankov commented: "If this is a requirement of the European regulations, why was it not written down that EU citizens can be ministers? Why did we open dual citizenship so widely?".
