Editorial: The Attorney General political cramp: finding solutions within the Constitution

Story Highlights

• The cramp consists in the fact that the High Council of the Prosecutor’s Office, KLP, is not ready. Ironically this is because a suitable member from civil society has not been found yet to fill its position in the KLP. The irony stands in the fact that it was a segment of civil society which was loudest in pushing forward the quickening of the reform and now it finds itself in the position of an obstacle. Once again it is worthy to reiterate that the solution this political cramp is to be found and should be found within the Constitution. This might mean that a mistake is committed, the attorney general selected and then brought to the Constitutional Court which will strike it down. Maybe there is a more responsible way not to reach that point.
