and chairman of the PP GERB
Mr. Borisov,
Bulgarian residents have been protesting in opposition to your one-man oligarchic rule for 40 days now. Individuals demand a radical change of the corrupt mannequin of governance by taking actions within the following sequence: your resignation as Prime Minister, resignation of the Prosecutor Common Ivan Geshev, introduction of machine and digital distant voting and convening of a Grand Nationwide Meeting to amend the Structure of the Republic of Bulgaria, creating a brand new stability and efficient management between the authorities, together with a deep judicial reform.

We imagine that this Nationwide Meeting is exhausted and fully depending on oligarchic and celebration circles, which reality is seen within the laws it adopts. The present parliament has been degraded by you to a division of the Council of Ministers, and the parliamentary republic to a major minister’s. The Nationwide Meeting has lengthy failed to guard the general public and Bulgarian nationwide curiosity, it acts solely as a “rubber stamp” of the federal government headed by you, and subsequently has no legitimacy to suggest or undertake acts that have an effect on individuals’s lives. On even better grounds, and with this breakdown of belief from the residents, the federal government and the Nationwide Meeting shouldn’t have the ethical proper to organize a draft for a brand new Structure, in addition to one for constitutional modifications.
Mr. Borisov,
We imagine that at this important second for our nation, the Structure of the Republic of Bulgaria will be amended solely on the idea of a broad public consensus. As President of the Council of Ministers and celebration chief of the most important parliamentary celebration, you could have the legislative energy to provoke a referendum on a matter of elementary nationwide significance.
This referendum should be held along with early parliamentary elections, preceded by your quick resignation, to finish the political disaster. That is how you’ll show to the people who the modifications within the Structure would be the results of the vote of the residents in a referendum, and never of the voice and pursuits of your celebration alone.

The content material of the constitutional draft should be ready along with residents and non-governmental organizations.
From “Izpravi se.BG” we propose that the next matters be included in it:
1. Efficient separation of legislative, govt and judicial powers and creation of efficient mechanisms for mutual management;
2. Introducing an efficient system of accountability of the chief prosecutor, limiting his uncontrolled energy and guaranteeing the purposeful independence of prosecutors from their managers;
3. Guaranteeing the independence of the court docket, separating the administration of the court docket from the administration of the prosecutor’s workplace and lowering the parliamentary quota within the Supreme Judicial Council from 11 to five members;
4. Empowering residents to suggest laws, in addition to to guard their constitutional rights by introducing the person constitutional grievance;
5. Introduction of the chance that civil committees and organizations, along with events, may also suggest candidate lists in elections;
6. Creation of constitutional ensures for the safety of the purity of the Bulgarian nature.
The brand new social contract might be actually legitimate solely when it displays the need of the complete Bulgarian society, and never solely that a part of it that represents shadowy pursuits.
The Council of Ministers and a fifth of the individuals’s representatives that GERB has, in view of their proper to suggest a referendum, can develop into the guarantor that the brand new Structure will mirror the vote of the residents, given in a referendum, and never the views of a celebration. Subsequently, our demand is to your quick resignation, which might velocity up the holding of early parliamentary elections along with the referendum.
