Former Bulgarian Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov, representing the GERB party led by Boyko Borissov, announced the party’s willingness to unconditionally support proposals from “Progressive Bulgaria” regarding the election of a new Supreme Judicial Council (VJC). Goranov stated that the previous power dynamic between Borissov and Delyan Peevski is now defunct and decisions are no longer dependent on the two individuals. This marks a potential shift in political alignment concerning judicial reform, a key issue in Bulgaria. The VJC is a crucial body overseeing the judiciary, and its composition has been subject to considerable debate and scrutiny. GERB’s move suggests a willingness to engage in broader consensus-building on judicial appointments. The unconditional support aims to facilitate the selection of a new VJC composition, potentially addressing concerns about political influence within the judiciary. This development could significantly impact the future of judicial independence in Bulgaria.
