Context
Bulgaria's National Assembly passed a new law regulating the anti-corruption commission, raising debate over its powers and constitutional compliance. Critics, including Ivan Vachev and Velislav Velichkov, question the law's allowance for investigative inspectors potentially sourced from foreign countries like Germany, France, and Italy, and oppose the introduction of undercover agents among MPs.
Concerns focus on whether limiting the commission's powers, such as restricting special intelligence methods and operational-search activities, will hinder its effectiveness. The Supreme Administrative Court and Supreme Court are relevant institutions in this context.
The law's implementation and its impact on anti-corruption efforts in Bulgaria remain contested, with ongoing discussions about its alignment with constitutional principles.
