The Parliament is launching the elections for a new Supreme Judicial Council and Inspectorate, as well as one constitutional judge, which have been delayed for years. Rules for the three elections will be adopted at the meeting of the Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs.
A constitutional judge from the National Assembly quota was supposed to be elected back in November. And the members of the Inspectorate to the Supreme Judicial Council are already serving their third term, as the term for which they were elected expired back in the spring of 2020. The most important for the judicial system is the election of a new Supreme Judicial Council, which is overdue by more than two years.
The election of members of the SJC, as well as that of judicial inspectors, requires a qualified majority of 160 parliamentary votes.
