The Minister of Justice may make a proposal to the Supreme Judicial Council for the early release of the Prosecutor General, as well as to the chairmen of the Supreme Court of Cassation and the Supreme Administrative Court. This was ruled by the Constitutional Court on Tuesday. The decision was taken unanimously - with 10 votes in favor.

Prime Minister Kiril Petkov will be summoned to the prosecutor's office for explanations in connection with his allegations that there are about 20 people in Bulgaria who he believes are at the center of crime in the country, but the prosecutor's office has not taken any action.

With 692 votes in favor and 14 against, the leader of "Yes, Bulgaria" Hristo Ivanov was re-elected today at his post by the party's second conference. He was the only candidate.

"The Recovery and Development Plan stipulates that the Prosecutor General will no longer be untouchable." This was said by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov in Brussels.

Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev wants special monitoring of Bulgaria under the new mechanism, which links the rule of law to receiving funds from European funds.
