A legal dispute in Varna regarding the Baba Alino area has escalated from challenges against building demolitions to disciplinary actions involving city officials.

Initially, the Administrative Court in Varna suspended the demolition of twelve multi-family residential buildings in the Baba Alino district. The court ruled that the municipality had not provided sufficient legal justification to proceed with immediate demolition before the substantive case was resolved.

Subsequently, the Supreme Administrative Court upheld the suspension of the head of the Varna Cadastre, Krasimira Bozhkova-Katalieva. Her suspension is connected to the Baba Alino case following allegations of insufficient oversight concerning illegal construction in the area. Bozhkova-Katalieva has contested the allegations, maintaining that the cadastre's role is to register existing structures rather than police construction legality. The legal proceedings regarding the legitimacy of her dismissal remain ongoing.
