A surprising resignation and nomination a year later
On March 27, 2024, when it is almost certain that early elections are forthcoming and the president will first appoint a office in the new constitutional order, Elena Cherneva-Markova surprisingly resigns. Her decision was discussed during a plenary meeting, which reported that she was withdrawing from the post for personal reasons.
| Cherneva was elected Deputy Ombudsman in 2020. Unanimously by parliament on the proposal of non-governmental organizations, with her long-standing legal experience. |
Markova had to take Ombudsman's position after Diana Kovacheva was elected a judge in the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The rocade was to take place in April, when the term of office of the Bulgarian judge in the ECtHR Yonko Grozev expired. However, parliament did not open the procedure and so far the country has no Ombudsman. In addition, the list of potential official prime ministers, which includes the chairman of the National Assembly, the Ombudsman, the Governor or one of the three BNB and the Chairman of the Court of Auditors or his two deputies, has been narrowed.
