Today it is possible to sober up and reconsider yesterday's statements by the PP- DB. These statements are probably wishful thinking, especially since more than half of the parliamentary group declared against such an exclusion.
This is what Petar Slavov, a former MP from the civil quota of the Reform Bloc, told the BNR about the exclusion of Daniel Laurer and Yavor Bozhankov from the PG of the PP-DB because of their voting during the election of the speaker of the parliament.
The date is already knocking on the door. With this workload of the CS, an additional delay is possible. This will prevent possible changes in the ZSV, emphasized Petar Slavov. In his words, these are "all things that help this vicious procedure".
Deputies from the democratic community should have asked the SC much earlier not only for interpretation, but also for the constitutionality of individual provisions in the Civil Code, he explained.
"This is a request regarding the constitutionality of an applicable statutory text and that should necessarily stop the proceedings."
Peter Slavov also stated that they are "extravagant" the ideas of self-declaring parliamentary groups before the election of the speaker of the parliament, so that the president can open the consultation procedure for a government and giving mandates, but no one asks the head of state if he agrees.
PP-DB will have a problem with the exclusion of two MPs, because they will align with "Vazrazhdane" and the president will decide with an equal number of deputies to whom he will give the second mandate, he pointed out.
Regarding GERB's two questions to the Constitutional Court - about the powers of bodies with an expired mandate, such as the SJC, which is going to elect a new chief prosecutor, and about the limitation of the rights of people's representatives, Petar Slavov commented:
"The main factor is time. The election and voting in the SJC (for a new chief prosecutor – ed.) is scheduled for January 16. What is happening now is clearly further delaying the ability to do anything – this procedure to be stopped, postponed, including terminated with possible amendments to the Law on the Judiciary. Things are getting harder to stop by this date – January 16."
There is already a pronouncement of the Supreme Court in relation to lustration years ago, he recalled in relation to the second question.
The problem is the great inaction and delay of the deputies from the PP-DB, criticized Slavov and called "inexplicable this delay and wondering that we see in the deputies of the so-called democratic community". He qualified things as "worrying", because even when the procedure for electing the chief prosecutor was unfrozen in September, there was a lot to do.
"So that we don't fall into this situation where they are being faked," concluded the lawyer.
