The Association of Prosecutors strongly opposes the unacceptable attempt to discredit the activities of Bulgarian prosecutors through other public manipulation by a professional organization of magistrates, suggesting to the citizens of Bulgaria that the activities of the prosecution violate the fundamental principle of the state of law. This is stated in an opinion of the Board of Directors of the Association of Prosecutors of the SJC. It is on the occasion of a speech by the Union of Judges.
The decision of September 19 of the General Assembly of the Judges’ Union to refer the SJC with a statement of “assessment of facts of public knowledge about the activities of the Attorney General” and almost simultaneously with the appeal of Judge Emil Dechev – member of the UBB to prosecutors boycott the election of a member of the SJC from the professional quota of prosecutors, we can only assess as a desire to deliberately instill a negative impression on the activities of prosecutors and deliberately underestimate the results of the prosecution in difficult fight against crime and corruption. says in opinion.
The association also points out that the constitutional power of the Prosecutor’s Office is to bring to justice any person who has committed a crime, regardless of their political affiliation, social or economic status.
“An extremely important debate is looming, not just for the judiciary, but for our entire society. And it will be primarily about whether the scales of Themis will tip in favor of common sense and the dignity of our judiciary or whether politics will prevail. “. emphasize by association.
“POLITICS HAS NO PLACE IN JUSTICE!” Shout its members.
According to the association, the UBB’s call to investigate cases in which the prosecution disseminates evidence, in practice obliges the SJC to examine each specific case with publicly announced evidence.
“A power that the staff does not have, neither by constitution nor by law, says the association,” said the association.
According to its members, “attempts to humiliate and devalue the activities of the prosecution by disseminating suggestions that the personality of the Attorney General is a” factor of arbitrariness and undermining the rule of law “can only be described as unworthy and inadmissible, aimed at creating a negative image of prosecutors’ work and instilling a negative attitude towards their activities. “
The qualifications for the creation of a “paramilitary entity”, for “endangering civil peace in the rule of law”, for “acts of force” are offensive, unethical and manipulative, the association is categorical.
