On Monday, July 22, 2025, civic activists are preparing a large-scale protest in front of the Courthouse in Sofia against the current Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov. The demonstration is planned for 7:00 PM and will include a march to the historic building of the National Assembly and Orlov Bridge.
The organizers from "Justice for Everyone" emphasize that the continuation of Sarafov's mandate represents a direct violation of legal provisions and democratic principles. They express serious concern that the current arrests of local political activists may be part of a targeted repressive strategy.
According to expert analysis, the legal term for serving as Prosecutor General has expired, which calls into question Sarafov's legitimacy. Nevertheless, political analysts like Borislav Tsekov allow for the possibility that he may remain in office until the National Assembly makes a final decision.
The protest aims to draw public attention to the processes in the judicial system and put pressure on institutions to take specific actions. The organizers insist on transparency and adherence to the rule of law.
The demonstration is shaping up to be a significant event that could trigger a serious public debate about the functioning of the justice system and the mechanisms for controlling high-ranking government officials.
