Filkov to the opposition: In the first two years we have brought more than 30 reform laws that correct long-standing weaknesses in the system

Minister of Justice Igor Filkov addressed the opposition during an amendment debate on proposed laws regarding judicial and prosecutorial services, stating that reforms in the judiciary would not be held hostage by political obstruction or daily political calculations. He criticized the opposition for what he described as false concern and manipulation of facts, expressing regret over the interruption of the previous day's debate and the cancellation of a scheduled meeting with the working group tasked with amending the Electoral Code, which the opposition had boycotted. Filkov emphasized that all reform laws prepared by the Ministry of Justice undergo transparent and inclusive procedures, including consultations with representatives from the European Commission and SIGMA to align with European standards. The proposed laws aim to maintain existing categories of jobs, ensure legal security, protect employees' rights, and incorporate collective agreements that include gradual salary increases. Filkov highlighted that over 30 reform laws have been passed in the first two years to address long-standing weaknesses in the system.
