Professor of constitutional law Ekaterina Mihaylova, stated, in an interview for BNT, that if the MPs do not vote a date for the presidential election soon a constitutional crisis will set in.
In her words the logic of the constitution is that presidential and parliamentary elections should not take place at the same time, as the two institutions have been created with a different duration. On the other hand, there is no ban on holding 2-in-1 elections. Ekaterina Mihaylova was adamant that the hearing of the prosecutor general by parliamentary committees is not unconstitutional – a question already referred to the Constitutional Court by Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev. She pointed out that she is an advocate of the idea of taking the prosecutor’s office out of the judiciary so it can have more autonomy and accountability.
