He was a judge until a few years ago, in my opinion \u2013 a good judge. He was my lawyer in a very different debate. The quality of &#8220;lawyer&#8221; in the sense of the law implies trust, it is not by chance that the &#8220;lawyer&#8221; is a &#8220;trustee&#8221; and the &#8220;represented&#8221; \u2013 &#8220;trustee&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In view of these facts, without any hesitation, when I saw him enter the Chamber and even before the beginning of the hearing (and not, as you write, &#8220;in the margin of the hearing&#8221;), I informed the other members of the Chamber that I thought it proper and wanted to refer from the hearing.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In his practice under art. 6 of the ECHR, the Strasbourg Court has repeatedly held that the Court should carry out its activities so as to exclude any reasonable doubt as to its impartiality (to that effect, Fay v. Austria, 24 February 1993, \u00a7 28 and \u00a7 30, Series A, no. 255; and Wettstein v. Switzerland;  \u2116 33958\/96, \u00a7 42, ECHR 2000-XII). If there is doubt, the circumstances of this darkness may be removed from the need for the purpose of the application (to that effect, Case 33958\/96 W\u0435tt\u0455t\u0435\u0456n v. \u0405w\u0456tz\u0435rl\u0430nd, EC\u03a0H 2000-XII; Rabla Ku v. F\u0456nl\u0430nd, no. 47221\/99, EC\u03a0H 2004-V; and Mysallef, above). &#8220;&#8230; Judge whose b\u00e9zpp\u00edctpactnoct e poctavena p\u00e5d c\u00f2nn\u00e9nnie \u00f6\u00e5n\u00e1t\u00e1lna p\u0131\u010dina, tp\u00e4bvvva da ce otveda&#8221; (to that effect, Ru\u0455t\u0430v\u0456 2 \u0412r\u043e\u0430d\u0441\u0430\u0455t\u0456ng \u0421\u043em\u0440\u0430n\u0443 Ltd \u0430nd \u041eth\u0435r\u0455 v. G\u0435\u043erg\u0456\u0430, No 16812\/17, 18.07.2019).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In fact, that is why the court did not proceed with the case, and the hearing did not begin at all. You can look at the minutes of the case.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">However, I read with bewilderment in your article that &#8220;Judge <a href=\"https:\/\/bird.bg\/en\/recruitment-in-the-judiciary-is-synonymous-with-nepotism-and-dependencies\/\">Mladen<\/a> Semov is<a href=\"https:\/\/search-sofia-adms-g.justice.bg\/Cases\/Details\/DC05D992291E105FC22588DB00361C28\"> taken<\/a> away by stating to the other two judges of the panel that he has a close personal relationship with Atty. Dallas. I wonder what kind of hunting party near Valksaray, maybe?!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I find this text completely false and an extremely unacceptable suggestion!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Journalism, like law, is not called to rest on doubts, even &#8220;maybe.&#8221; So I think it necessary to state more: I am not a hunter and have never gone hunting. Not alone, not with a group. I&#8217;ve only seen a wolf at the zoo&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>  The attempt for suggestion, which is visible from your text, acts quite demotivating&#8230; Many colleagues would ask themselves whether it makes sense at all to recuse themselves in such cases. And that&#8217;s hardly the goal that your publication pursues&#8230; Let&#8217;s imagine the opposite \u2013 in such a situation had I recused myself? What were you going to write ?.. Then a reproach would be justified.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I can&#8217;t remember the fact of my brother&#8217;s name, who has nothing to do with the case.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Four false suggestions in two sentences \u2013 with no other meaning than the denigration of my name.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I&#8217;m looking for every argument to make sure that&#8217;s not the purpose of your article.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I am convinced that journalism has a mission with meaning and depth, going beyond the petty hurt of someone. In fact, that is why I would not dare to file a lawsuit against a media seeking the truth \u2013 I am deeply convinced that the search for truth should be supported. That this is an extremely complex process in which errors are possible.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Therefore, assuming that the text concerning my name is rather a mistake, I hope that you will publish this answer of mine and at least point out that the information thus presented and the suggestion brought out are not based on any facts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To preserve its meaning the true vocation of journalism!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mladen Semov,<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Judge at the Administrative Court Sofia-city<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning!
