"There is political interference in the work of the prosecutor's office and the judiciary in general," President Rumen Radev has told journalists.

When asked if Ivan Geshev was suitable for chief prosecutor, he replied that he did not want to speculate and that there is something much more important than the personality of the current chief prosecutor, and that was the Supreme Judicial Council - "the body that makes decisions; everything depends on it". The head of state expressed hope that after the political interference and pliability of members of the SJC had come to light, they would now show independence and obedience to the law and the principles established in the judiciary. According to the President, the National Assembly has abdicated from the problems of the judiciary.
