*Inspectorate to the Supreme Judicial Council
The strong resistance of the non-governmental sector against the procedure of appointment of Inspectors in the ISJC reached the European Commission today in the form of a widely supported Letter addressed to the President of the National Assembly Mrs. Tsacheva, the Prime-minister of Bulgaria Mr. B.Borisov and the Secretary-general of the European Commission accompanied by findings and recommendations to immediately correct the process.
The warning to be sent with this letter is that such a “vicious” manner of conducting judicial appointments is simply intolerable. The reaction came after it became evident during the hearing of the candidates in the Committee on Legal affairs that it is pursuing a policy of opacity and “makes appointments in procedures lacking enough information about the candidates, motives on behalf of the nominating MPs, real public hearing, and objective and thorough evaluation of their relevant qualities, including professional capacity and behavior”.
