President Rumen Radev has signed a decree for returning the changes to the Judiciary System Act, adopted on July 21, 2023, for a new discussion in the National Assembly.
The changes envisage that instead of randomly selecting a judge under an investigation related to the Prosecutor General, a list of judges who expressed a desire to be prosecutors to investigate the Prosecutor General will be created.
An additional 6-month period for the election of a new composition of the Supreme Judicial Council was also adopted, which violates the principle of mandates as a basic rule for the functioning of public authorities. According to Radev, the changes did not contribute to lasting and effective reforms in the justice system and to the fight against lawlessness, and were a retreat from the commitments that were positively assessed by the European Commission in its latest Annual Report on the rule of law.
