The government has dismissed Veselin Penev as Sofia District Governor. The position will be taken over temporarily by Zhivka Takeva – Parvanova. She is currently Deputy Sofia District Governor. She will occupy the post until a permanent Governor is appointed.
The reason for the change is the controversial Tsarski Konyushni deal revealed by BSP. Penev tendered his resignation on Friday after a conversation with Prime Minister Borissov. Borissov referred the deal to the Prosecutor’s Office.
In the Tsarski konyushni deal, the Sofia District Governor sold the state share of the co-owner of the property – a firm of Yanko Ivanov, former Governor of KTB, for merely BGN 658,000.
