Summary/Abstract: The report presents and analyzes the problem of the growing role and importance of constitutional justice in Bulgaria in the conditions of political crisis in recent years. The thesis is advocated that in conditions of political crisis, democratic institutions and parliamentary parties are more often inclined to violate the constitution or to use it excessively as a tool for institutional opposition in the political process. As a result, the Constitutional Court becomes a participant in the resolution of political and institutional disputes and conflicts. Cases from constitutional jurisprudence are analyzed, through which challenges and problems facing constitutional justice are highlighted. A political and legal approach is used in the analysis of the studied process.
