Bulgarian Minister of Justice Hristo Ivanov has resigned. He made this announcement from the rostrum of the National Assembly. Ivanov’s resignation has come during debates and voting of amendments to the Constitution. He said that the voting contained a symbolic and political message that the independence of the courts of justices is not regarded highly enough. In his opinion it has become an important step towards the suspicion that in Bulgaria the supremacy of the Prosecutor General has become an increasingly possible option. „So, I can say with a great relief that I will no longer carry out the powers of minister of justice and will make all steps necessary to resign”. Following a meeting with PM Boyko Borissov, Ivanov said his resignation was accepted by the prime minister.
