The Municipal Council in the Black Sea city of Varna is holding an emergency sitting Wednesday to designate an interim Mayor.
The outcome, however, is unclear as the decision of the Municipal Electoral Commission in Varna to accept the resignation of Mayor Kiril Yordanov has been appealed.
According to Nova TV, the claim has been filed by the Varna Protestant Evangelical Community, the Thracian Society "Capitan Petko Voivoda," the martial arts sports club, and a group Varna intellectuals.
Deputy Mayor, Associated Professor and Navy doctor Hristo Bozov, is the most likely interim Mayor.
Fourth-term Mayor, Kiril Yordanov, resigned on March 6, amidst huge protests.
The largest demonstrations against high utility bills, monopolies, poverty, economic stagnation, corruption, and the political model of ruling the country after the fall of the Communist regime in 1989 were held in Varna.
Varna people also continue to pile rocks, stones and flowers near the City Hall where Plamen Goranov, 36, set himself on fire on February 20th, the very same day when the Cabinet of Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, and his Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB, resigned amidst the unprecedented nationwide protests.
It was reported meanwhile that protesting Varna residents have staged once again a human chain blocking the entrances of the City Hall in demanding the resignation of the Municipal Council.
