„Information Services” must make the calculations and submit them to the CEC. And then the Commission should submit them to the Constitutional Court. The final data will be announced by the CEC after the Constitutional Court's decision. Such an opinion was expressed in "Zdravej, Bulgaria" by Tsvetelina Peneva, a member of the CEC Public Council, and Prof. Krasimir Kalinov, a former member of the CEC.
According to Kalinov, there will be a merry-go-round within the parties and in the regions. "Someone from the "x" party will roar and leave the National Assembly, and another will gladly replace him from the same or neighboring list," he believes.
"In my opinion, someone is not doing their job and this is obvious. The whole society sees it. And let's talk with a paragraph of the law. We are in a procedure for appealing the election results. It is being conducted by the Constitutional Court. Article 306 paragraph 5 of the Electoral Code says what should happen. First, we have a two-month period in which the Constitutional Court was supposed to rule on the five appeals for the annulment of the elections. Obviously, it has expired. Paragraph 5 of the article in question says that in case of significant violations of the election process, the Central Election Commission is responsible for recalculating the results and announcing the new ones. That is, if we have to look for the new election results, we should do it from the CEC. And I would urge them to do their job. The commission in this case has reassigned its responsibility to “Information Services”, Peneva believes.
"There is no practical obstacle to finding out what the new election results are. The CEC cannot count absolutely anything. “Information Services” has the software that implements the procedure from the code. For me, the things that Pavlina Panova put forward yesterday are an attempt to avoid responsibility”, claims Kalinov.
Both are of the opinion that it is not known which deputies will be affected if the results are changed.
“Things are not simple. There are many different results. They are not only in favor or harm of “Majesty”. They are to the benefit or detriment of almost all parties. In what I counted, there were one or two votes understated results in individual sections for “Velichy”. That is, written for another party. There were quite a few votes that were written for them, but they are not theirs”, believes Kalinov.
“There is no way to understand who will be affected, because we do not know, beyond these sacks that leaked from the letter of “Information Service”, what is the state of the other sections that were the subject of the expertise. Let me remind you that we have 2204 sections that were subjected to subsequent control and recounting by experts in the Constitutional Court. Let me say that the Public Council to the CEC expressed its opinion at the beginning of this procedure, which was uploaded to the website of the Constitutional Court, mainly regarding the lack of transparency. We are currently talking about what is and what is not in the bags, we do not know what happened in the court, because it has classified its work until now. I call for the immediate publication of all the results of the expert examinations," Peneva also said.
"The Constitutional Court is experienced as a court, but it is not a court. In fact, their first job was to classify everything in the case and prohibit the experts from speaking at all on the matter," believes the former member of the CEC.
