President Rumen Radev vetoed amendments to the Judicial System Act, the President's Press Secretariat reported here on Tuesday. 

The head of State signed a decree returning to the National Assembly for further discussion the amendments to the Judicial System Act, adopted on July 21, which affect the system for the selection of the judge to serve as the prosecutor responsible for investigating the Prosecutor General.

Radev stressed that this law does not contribute to lasting and effective reforms in the justice system and that this has a direct bearing on the fight against lawlessness and impunity.
