Lawyers to protest over election of Prosecutor General

Lawyers from across the country have announced that they will gather at noon today for a peaceful protest in front of the Sofia Court House building to express their opposition to the way the election of the Prosecutor General is being conducted. 

They are calling for the suspension of the current procedure for the election until a new Supreme Judicial Council is formed. According to them, this election would be illegitimate as the mandate of the current SJC has expired.

"On the last day for nominations, 11 October 2024, only one nomination for a new Prosecutor General was submitted - that of Acting Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov. The nomination of a candidate who does not enjoy unquestionable professional credibility and trust in society gives the impression that the procedure is biased and the election a pre-determined one," the lawyers said in a speech published on the Sofia Bar Association website.
