Balgarianovinite.com Nothing begins or will end with Borislav Sarafov, and both new and established politicians have a role to play on this critical issue, caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gurov said in a video published on Facebook. They must act wisely but quickly – not with threats, but with legislation, he added.
Gurov’s comments came after Borislav Sarafov withdrew his consent to serve as acting Prosecutor General earlier on Wednesday. Later, the Prosecutors’ Chamber of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) appointed Vanya Stefanova as acting Prosecutor General in his place.
According to Gurov, a prosecutor general has effectively stepped down from a position he had been holding unlawfully. He further claimed that Sarafov had halted an investigation into 72 vote brokers who enjoyed immunity. “He is the same person who sanctioned investigations against me, the Secretary General [of the Interior Ministry], and three ministers based on signals from tabloid media, while we were fighting for fair elections,” Gurov said.
“Our contribution is that we did not remain silent under the pressure of his strike squads. We gave courage to the honest people within the prosecution service to break the code of silence and testify about the networks of dependence,” Gurov added.
The PM also emphasized that the Prosecutors’ Chamber of the SJC removed Sarafov with striking speed and notable unanimity. However, he warned that the risk remains that the new appointee could turn out to be no different from the previous one. “We know the menu there is short, and reshuffling happens quickly when someone makes a call,” he commented.
“Today’s decision appeared well planned, carefully staged, and performed for the audience,” Gurov added.
