It is important to note that the idea behind the installation of the Hanukkah menorah at the heart Chisinau within the Europe Square (where the EU flag is hung next to the Moldovan one) was thought up by Chisinau’s city officials.

A strike against fundamental values

But the above “forms of protest” are not present in Chisinau’s tolerant Chisinau since 1903’s Jewish pogrom. The Jewish community views the incident of the latter as hooliganism. Эммануил Гриншпун According to Bilinkis, the people who were responsible for breaking Hanukkah “were fooled by their leaders.”

Ilya Shits who is the General Director of the Jewish Congress, says that the event was planned well. On the first day of Hanukkah the participants were seen by the menorah. Stav Nijinsky became the first secretary of the Israeli Embassy in Chisinau and lit the first candle. Shchats says that this is an attempt to undermine Moldovan statehood and violate democratic principles as well as European aspirations.
