Bar associations call on SJC to suspend election of new Prosecutor General and President of SAC

Twenty-five bar associations from across the country have called on the Supreme Judicial Council, which has an expired mandate, to suspend the process of electing a new Prosecutor General and a new President of the Supreme Administrative Court. They also called on the incumbent Prosecutor General, Borislav Sarafov, to withdraw his nomination and not to take part in "a process that lacks legitimacy and is on the verge of finally destroying the institutional authority of the prosecutor's office, the judiciary and the state".

The representatives of the bar associations insist on waiting for the formation of a new SJC, which, within its mandate, should start a new procedure and make a legitimate choice of the heads of the main bodies of the judiciary.
The lawyers called on their colleagues and citizens to protest in front of the courthouses in their respective cities on 25 October, the Day of European Lawyers and Law Societies, whose theme this year is the independence and self-government of the legal profession and its contribution to stronger democracies.
