Varna's Municipal Election Commission has scheduled a hearing to examine three complaints lodged against Mayor Blagomir Kotsev. The panel will convene to review allegations filed against the city leader, with the most recent grievance arriving earlier this week.
Commission officials confirmed that proceedings align with statutory timelines outlined in the Electoral Code. All panel members received proper notification, while Kotsev's legal representative and the mayor himself obtained documentation regarding the inspection. The commission secured confirmation that Kotsev accessed all relevant materials.
Electoral authorities stressed that their administrative review operates independently from criminal proceedings involving the mayor. A separate court appearance addressing detention matters will occur later in the month, but the commission's work follows distinct protocols regardless of whether the subject remains in custody or free.
