Discussions continue on the selection of a new Supreme Judicial Council
Political debates regarding the selection of a new composition of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) are intensifying. Vladislav Velichkov from "We Continue the Change" announced that the party plans to nominate candidates put forward by civil society organizations. The goal of this approach is to ensure transparency and maximum competition in the selection of members for the two chambers of the council.
The Supreme Judicial Council is a key body in the Bulgarian judicial system, responsible for personnel matters in the courts and the prosecutor's office. The process of selecting new members is of great importance to society, as the effectiveness and independence of justice in the country depend on it.
According to representatives of political forces, it is necessary to seek experts with high professional reputations and public trust. The idea of including candidates from initiative organizations aims to reduce political influence and ensure that people who work solely in the interest of the law enter the judiciary.
It is expected that the nomination procedure will enter its active phase in the coming weeks. Citizens and the non-governmental sector will closely monitor the process, as judicial reform remains one of the main priorities for Bulgaria's development and its European integration.
