Protesters outside the Court House demand independent judiciary

"Justice for All" initiative staged a protest in front of the Palace of Justice in Sofia on November 5. This time under the slogan "Who is regrouping the chief prosecutors".

The civic organisation once again called on the Supreme Judicial Council, which has been with an expired term for two years, not to elect a chief prosecutor and a president of the Supreme Administrative Court. They also doubted the ethical qualities of the candidate for prosecutor general, Borislav Sarafov, pointing out that suspicions about his ties with former investigator turned fugitive Petyo Petrov, nicknamed Petyo the Euro, have not been dispelled. The protest was also attended by politicians from We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria.

“Justice for All” also claimed that the current composition of the Supreme Judicial Council is controlled by Delyan Peevski (leader of MRF-New Beginning) and said that this protest has been going on for 11 years.
