Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov declared he was against the amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure put forward by GERB, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), the Patriotic Front and the Bulgarian Democratic Centre which would authorize him to block financial and property deals for a period of 48 hours. According to a press release by the Prosecutor’s Office he had conferred with Boyko Borissov “early in the morning”, the Prime Minister being the first to have made the amendments public. Sotir Tsatsarov convinced Borissov that the draft bill was dangerous and unacceptable, Duma writes.
