Plamen Goranov Biography

Plamen Goranov is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on October 20, 1976 in Varna, Varna, Bulgaria.

Plamen Goranov (Bulgarian: Пламен Горанов ) (20 October 1976 – 3 March 2013) was a Bulgarian photographer and mountain climber, and a Varna-based local protest leader of the 2013 Bulgarian nationwide protests. He became a symbol of the Bulgarian social protest movements and a catalyst for nationwide protests and government resignations when on 20 February 2013 he set himself on fire in front of the Varna municipal building. He died from his injuries in a local hospital on 3 March, Bulgarian Liberation Day, a Bulgarian national holiday celebrating liberation from five centuries of Ottoman rule. Goranov protested against the organized crime group TIM and the TIM-controlled Varna mayor Kiril Yordanov.

According to a report in The New York Times, Goranov’s death has become for Bulgarians a symbol of despair that things will never change, but it also marks a loss of fear among the populace to take on mafia group TIM, described in a 2005 U.S. Embassy document uncovered by WikiLeaks as “the up-and-coming star of Bulgarian organized crime” fingered for involvement in various illicit activities including “extortion and racketeering, intimidation, prostitution, gambling, narcotics trafficking and car theft.” As a leader of a 30,000-strong protest prior to his death, Goranov had led chants of, “Down with TIM.”
