Former Bulgarian Vice President Angel Marin's second term in office was probably not "illegal", the country's new President Rosen Plevneliev reckons.
It recently emerged that former President Georgi Parvanov failed to issue a decree authorizing the second mandate of the Vice President from 2007 to 2012, which led some to state that Marin's decrees can be challenged in Court as invalid and in violation of the Constitution.
"It is perfectly clear to me that there are two opinions among lawyers. The prevailing one is that a second decree was not necessary, since the first one had not been officially ended. However, if the thesis supported by the minority of lawyers turns out to be correct, we will think about what we should do in the Presidency," Plevneliev commented on Monday, as cited by dariknews.bg.
The new President advised against any further comments on the case until the country's Constitutional Court announces its ruling on the case.
"This is not as big as a drama as it has been presented to be," Plevneliev stated.
During his two terms in office, Angel Marin pardoned 533 felons, including many murderers, local media recently revealed.
