Bulgaria’s Constitutional court is unlikely to deliver its decision on whether a controversial media mogul may return as lawmaker before the autumn, experts have said.
The time the court will need to deliver a ruling will depend on the exact definition of the request, but it won’t be delivered before the autumn, experts in Bulgaria’s constitutional law told the state radio.
Bulgaria’s liberal Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) party said on Wednesday it will ask the Constitutional Court whether controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski may return as lawmaker once the Parliament retracts his appointment as head of the country’s State Agency for National Security (DANS).
The ruling coalition of DPS and the Bulgarian Socialist Party insists that Peevski has a right to be reinstated as MP, while some legal experts have stated the opposite.
The Bulgarian Socialist Party has also announced that it will also ask the Constitutional Court for a ruling on the matter.
The election of Peevski, a 32-year-old media mogul and MP from the predominantly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms party (DPS), stirred a wave of massive protests across the country, with tens of thousands of Bulgarians taking to the streets for five days now.
Peevski’s potential reinstatement as Member of Parliament is likely to add fuel to the protests against the Socialist-led government of PM Plamen Oresharski, which took oath of office just three weeks ago.
