„The last elections for the 51st parliament were not entirely fair“. This was said by the constitutional judge Professor Atanas Semov in the program „This Morning“. He emphasized that he was surprised by so many errors.
„The Constitutional Court provided hundreds of pages, processed, accepted by it as proven facts to the CEC, which must simply, based on these facts - here 2 votes more, there less, here missing votes in a section at all, there 50 or a hundred ballots filled in by the same person, proven by graphic expertise, recalculate the results“, he explained.
„What this will lead to - we do not know. The bigger question is, after the Constitutional Court has ruled in about 10 days, we will probably draw conclusions about where the real weaknesses and, I would say, deformities of our electoral process are. Why were so many members of election commissions replaced on the last day before the elections? Not everyone got sick, at least not with the flu“, he commented.
According to him, there are many mistakes in the protocols. Most of them were not made on purpose.
“The mistakes may not have a significant impact, but they indicate a low quality of work. We found poor quality work at polling stations in Sofia, not in small settlements“, the constitutional judge also said.
