Plamen Goranov was a Bulgarian photographer[1] and mountain climber,[2] 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.[3][4] Goranov protested against the organized crime group TIM and the TIM-controlled Varna mayor Kiril Yordanov.[5][6] <
