Balgarianovinite.com Justice Minister Nikolay Naydenov appeared before a monitoring group on democracy, the rule of law, and fundamental rights with the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) in the European Parliament, the Justice Ministry reported Thursday. Naydenov presented the latest amendments to the Judicial System Act and the Code of Criminal Procedure, adopted by the 52nd National Assembly, as well as the establishment of a new Anti-Corruption Commission.
He emphasized efforts to ensure objectivity and trust in the reform process and to protect judges from interference in their work, as well as the responsibility of institutions to ensure objectivity and transparency in their selection of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) and to prevent undue influence. He also briefed the group’s members on the changes related to the accountability mechanism for the Prosecutor General, as well as on the upcoming establishment of an interagency mechanism for implementing the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.
Minister Naydenov was scheduled to appear alongside SJC representative Boyan Magdalinchev, but he did not attend and did not provide a reason for his absence, a fact noted by the MEPs, the press release reads.
In late June, Parliament adopted amendments to the Judicial System Act regulating the election of a new SJC and SJC Inspectorate, specifying the powers of the Council whose term had long since expired, as well as the election of acting heads of the courts, the prosecution service, and other bodies.
