The Constitutional Court in Bulgaria, has been marginalized, lawyer Mihail Ekimdzhiev, one of the founders of the Association for European Integration and Human Rights, told BNR. With this statement, he refers to the election of Desislava Atanasova as a constitutional judge. Atanasova is the former chairperson of the parliamentary group of GERB-SDS. 

Ekimdzhiev said that Atanasova was in a serious conflict of interest because, in addition to being a long-time leader of the PG of GERB, she participated in the adoption of hundreds of laws since 2009. According to him, the election of the representatives from the parliamentary quota in the Constitutional Court - Desislava Atanasova from GERB and Borislav Belazelkov from PP-DB, took place without discussion and without other nominations.
