“Constitutional reform it should not be done by one or two people. And from many people. This is a long process,” said former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov during a lecture to students at SU. Organizers are the student association “Polity” and the Student Diplomatic Club, the BNR specified.
In the form of rhetorical questions, Ivan Kostov asked whether the parliament currently has capacity, significant costitutionalists and specialiststo carry out the relevant constitutional reform.
Kostov said that there is a risk who will do this constitutional reform. It seems frivolous to me, he commented on the latest decisions regarding judicial reform.
In response to students’ questions, the former prime minister said that if prosecutors or judges choose the members of the Supreme Judicial Council, that means they will self-empower.
The National Assembly is the representation of the people and the people have delegated to the MPs to represent them. Therefore, the former prime minister questioned the intention of the National Assembly not having a say in the selection of members of the Supreme Judicial Council.
Ivan Kostov defined the events of the last days in political life as collapse of the mafia-state pyramid.
In a parliamentary republic, the president should not hate the parties. And the parties should not hate the institutions, the former prime minister recalled.
Ivan Kostov saw a gross political mistake by PP/DB in the negotiations with GERB
It became impossible to elect the government, which was almost assembled
And he warned that there is a danger of the return of the authoritarian regime.
According to Kostov, the local elections can torpedo the government.
Therefore, people from the government should take measures and get ahead of the events. He pointed out that there is a risk that Bulgaria will remain on the periphery of the European Union.
