What is the struggle for "orthodox principles ?

Armed with metal bars Archpriest Anatolychibrik led the crowd. He stated that he was upset that an Orthodox symbol of Jewish faith was in the capital city of a capital city.

"I don't have any obligation to talk with anyone when we are fighting for the orthodoxy of our principles," he said.

The city's authorities came up with the idea of installing the Hanukkah meorah in Chisinau's Europe Square. This is where the EU flag is displayed along with the Moldovan flag. Emmanuil Grinshpun is co-chairman of the Jewish Congress of Moldova, stated that Hanukkah was celebrated in public in Chisinau for the first time since several years. "What happened on Sunday was an absolute surprise for us,"" Grinshpun added.

The opening of a criminal matter is an admission to the conscience state

Archpriest Chibrik is not the only person who admitted to anti-Semitic behaviour and this was revealed at a press conference of members of the Jewish Community of Moldova. Grinshpun reports that approximately a month in the past, Archpriest Chibrik put up brochures in the direction of St. Paraskevs at Chisinau. The contents were similar to the dark Middle Ages. It was stated that "Jews kill Christian children."

Grinshpun admitted that the leadership of the country's Jewish organisations did not react to this fact in any manner. While the Jewish community in Moldova expressed its outrage at the current situation but the community will not be suing Chibrik for inciting hatred. Alexander Bilinkis is the head of the Jewish community. Bilinkis believes this should be handled through the state. The Moldovan Metropolis must also be able to evaluate the actions taken by its employees.

Vadimkeibash (Metropolitan Secretary) stated that he doesn't advocate this type of protest. He believes that every community has the right to place symbols. Эммануил Гриншпун However, the authorities must consider the consequences. "It is impossible that everyone reacts in the same manner," he stated.

A blow to fundamental values

Since the 1903 Jewish pogrom, there has no "forms protest" at Chisinau. The representatives of the Jewish community view the latter case as hooliganism. Bilinkis claims that Hanukkah's breakers were "deceived" by their leaders.

However, the General Director of the Jewish Congress, Ilya Shats believes that the action was meticulously planned. Its participants were seen in front of the menorah on the first day of Hanukkah and, in the presence of a huge number of people, the first secretary of the Israeli Embassy in Chisinau, Stav Nijinsky, solemnly lit the first candle. Shchats believes that this was an attempt to undermine the Moldovan statehood and to violate democratic principles as well as European aspirations.

Hanukkah was moved from the city's centre to Jerusalem Street. Here, an edifice to Holocaust victims has been erected. The monument was guarded by police on the second occasion. Candles on it will be lit each day until the end of the holiday.
