“Removing the prosecutor general from office is a good step, but the institutional changes must continue. We, from We Continue the Change are hoping there will be no next prosecutor general,” We Continue the Change co-chair Kiril Petkov said, in an interview with Nova TV. Kiril Petkov said further that a commission should be set up at the National Assembly, to analyse the demands for lifting the immunity of MPs, among them Petkov himself.

The commission will open cases, make public absolutely all documents, so that people will be able to see for themselves whether prosecutors are being used as a political bludgeon. Light will be shed on any prosecutor who is politically motivated in demanding that someone’s immunity be lifted, Kiril Petkov said. The next big reform that has to be put through must be in the national security services, he stated further.
