Magistrates – judges, prosecutors and examining magistrates, as well as judiciary staff organized a protest in front of the Court of Justice in Sofia in support of Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev, an attempt on whose life took place on 1 May. 

Protests also took place in front of the courthouses in different towns across the country. “We are protesting against the disintegration of statehood which we have been seeing these past two years,” Yasen Todorov, Deputy Director of the National Investigation Service told reporters. “In practice, the judiciary and the prosecutor’s office have remained the last islands of this statehood,” he added. The Supreme Judicial Council also expressed a position, with the spokespersons for the Council colleges of judges and of prosecutors stating their support for the prosecutor general.
