The Bulgarian Judges Association (BJA) has called on the plenum of the Supreme Judicial Council to elect a new acting prosecutor general of Bulgaria.
The BJA describes the decision of the prosecutor’s college of the Supreme Judicial Council to elect Borislav Sarafov acting prosecutor general as “the latest disgraceful decision, which seriously undermines the reputation of the judiciary”.
The BJA’s position reads further that at the very start of the scandal at the highest levels of the prosecutor’s office, they had demanded the resignations of the now former Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev and his deputy Borislav Sarafov as chief players in the mechanisms and instances, they themselves revealed, in which undue influence has been exerted on persons occupying high-ranking positions in the judiciary, including on members of the Supreme Judicial Council itself.
In their position, the judges call for the election, after public debate and with clearly formulated motives, of a new prosecutor general with professional competence and integrity who is not from the circle of Ivan Geshev’s deputies. The judges also urge the members of the Supreme Judicial Council to tender their resignations after the election of an acting prosecutor general.
