If the Supreme Administrative Court decides not to let the five Bulgarian nurses jailed in Libya run for MEPs, than it turns out that Parliament adopted a law against them, Yane Yanev, leader of the party that nominated them said.

The head of Order Rule of Law and Justice party added for Darik Nrews that this may seal the fate of the women in Libya.

"If they can't win a single case in Bulgaria, how are they expected to win in Libya," Yanev said. He explained that the nurses and Doctor Zdravko Georgiev didn't choose willingly to spend these past eight years outside of the EU and this should be reason enough to allow them to run.

I don't know how Bulgaria's court would look in the eyes of the Libyan judges, Yanev said. He said that as soon as the court decides in their favour, the nurses would gain immunity as MEP candidates.

Bulgarians, who haven't lived in the country or a EU member for the past three months prior to the elections do not have the right to vote or run for MEPs.
