Plovdiv municipal land lease dispute

Overview

The Plovdiv Municipality faced criticism regarding the management of an 831-square-meter plot in the Severen district, formerly the site of the ‘Veselo Selo’ restaurant. Authorities had announced a tender to lease the land for 10 years at a monthly rate of 790 euros. This move drew scrutiny because the site had been designated since 2018 for public infrastructure projects, including a five-story parking garage for approximately 120 vehicles and a potential district administrative building.

Following the announcement, Ventsislava Lyubenova, the mayor of the Severen district, officially terminated the auction. The cancellation was prompted by an official order citing procedural violations and breaches of the ordinance governing the acquisition and management of municipal property.
