The SJC accepted as admissible five of the grounds cited by the Minister of Justice Nadezhda Yordanova, three were partially accepted and one was rejected as inadmissible.
Just before the sitting of the Supreme Judicial Council to discuss the early termination of his term of office, Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev called the demand by Justice Minister Nadezhda Yordanova for his removal from office “a legal naught”.

In response, Minister Yordanova described his words as “an absolutely false claim”, and stated it was an attempt to shift the focus from the main problem which is that nobody in the country can be untouchable.
