Pencho Zlatev

Pencho Zlatev

Pencho Ivanov Zlatev ( _bg. Пенчо Иванов Златев), also known as Petko Ivanov Zlatev ( _bg. Петко Иванов Златев) (2 November 1881 – 24 July 1948) was a Bulgarian general and politician in the years before the Second World War.

The Inspector-General of the Cavalry, Zlatev was also a member of the Military League, a right-wing group that had close links to Zveno. Following the 1934 coup by this movement Zlatev became Minister of Defence, although as a staunch monarchist he became wary of the growing republican sentiments that were being expressed by some members of the new regime. As a result Tsar Boris III orchestrated a counter-coup against the new regime and placed Zlatev in as Prime Minister on 22 January 1935. Zlatev, who was only intended as a strong military presence in the immediate aftermath of the coup, was quickly replaced once Boris' control was assured.
