Three appealing Vesela Lecheva’s election as chairman of BOC, including Secretary -General Belcho Goranov

In the Bulgarian sport, another law finner for power has officially begun. This time is BOC’s turn, whose chairman was elected Vesela Lecheva last week. She won the vote with 48:33 votes, but immediately after that the former chairman Stefka Kostadinova sealed four premises in the building of the Olympic Committee – the office, the finance department, the room on the second floor and the archive, confirming that she herself called 112 to seek the restoration of the phone.

Kostadinova herself commented to bTV that she did not decide whether she would appeal the choice of delegates, saying at the end of the interview, « I will not appeal. » And it turned out to be the case. On Friday, March 21, three complaints were filed in the Sofia City Court against the results of the vote. This happened on the same day that Vesela Lecheva’s lawyers filed documents for her official entry as the new chairman of BOC. Which will be blocked until the court decides on the three separate complaints.

The absurdity in the whole situation is that the first complaint, with incoming number 591, was submitted by BOC Secretary General Belcho Goranov, who actually organized the secret vote itself during the Election Assembly. The absurdity is supplemented by the fact that Goranov initially announced that he would remain in the post with Vesela Lecheva. But today he spread a position to the media, which expresses his intention to continue his functions in the current team of Stefka Kostadinova, while the official entry of the new Executive Bureau with chairman Vesela Lecheva becomes a fact. « Dear friends of sports, I would like to inform you of my decision to remain in the post of Secretary General of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC) in the team of Mrs. Stefka Kostadinova.

After the General Election Assembly of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC) on March 19, 2025, I was invited by Mrs. Vesela Lecheva to continue working as the Secretary General of the Committee.

Thanks to Mrs. Vesela Lecheva for the high rating I received. I also want to assure the current work related to the BOC’s activity will be done in its full volume and in the best way for the committee« , writes in Goranov’s statement.

In addition, complaints against the election of Lecheva in the Sofia City Court were filed by the three -time Balkan champion in the 110m running of Plamen Krastev, who is an individual member of the BOC and has formally raised the candidacy of Stefka Kostadinova and the Olympic vice champion in wrestling from Seoul. member. Their complaints are below the number 597 and 598 and also dated March 21, 2025.

Vesela Lecheva reacted with a position on her part. « I am surprised to find out that Mr. Belcho Goranov has decided to leave the post of Secretary General of the BOC, elected by the General Assembly on March 19, 2025. He does so by letter to the media today, a few hours after he filed a complaint against the General Assembly of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee.

Contrary to his allegations, this complaint probably aims to delay the BOC’s work and cause chaos a year before the Winter Olympics. Mr. Goranov personally asked me to remain Secretary General of BOC after the delegates of the General Assembly elected me. I agreed in the name of continuity, although he was never part of my team.

At the next meeting of the Executive Bureau, I will suggest that Mr. Goranov’s resignation be accepted and to be elected a new Secretary General, « said Lecheva. Assembly, if it is not officially inscribed and the old leadership is still moving the processes in BOC.
