Bulgarian Judge: Public Must Know What Happened in Court Cases

In Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Judge Petko Minev has underscored the critical role of public awareness in judicial processes, particularly concerning high-profile cases like a recent murder trial.

"Precisely this publicity provides society with the opportunity to be informed about the court's activities and about what stance it takes on a particular case, whether it is media-related or not, because society must know what has happened," stated Judge Minev. He stressed that transparency is not merely about openness but is a fundamental mechanism for societal understanding and trust in the justice system.

The judge's remarks highlight a commitment to ensuring that the public remains informed about the proceedings and outcomes of court cases. This approach aims to demystify the judicial process and foster a more engaged and informed citizenry, reinforcing the principle that justice should not only be done but also be seen to be done.
