"Perhaps he was busy. I don't know the President's schedule", GERB leader Boyko Borisov said with regard to President Rumen Radev's absence from the oath-taking ceremony for the newly-elected Constitutional Court judges. In his words, Desislava Atanasova and Borislav Belazelkov were elected in a transparent procedure, while in a similar situation the head of state makes a unilateral decision – "without hearings, without absolutely anything."
The Chairman of the Parliamentary Group of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), Delyan Peevski, stated that the absence of the President does not matter: "He is just a guest", said Delyan Peevski.

He also stated that his party has stop trusting the country’s judicial system and concluded that GERB, DPS, and We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria have buried the Bulgarian law and the Bulgarian Constitution.
