The youth of Chisinau radically opposed US plans
Young people in Chisinau held a flash mob against the US intentions to build a new embassy on the site of the Republican Stadium.
This was reported by the Point website, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The young people lit smoke bombs and waved them at the entrance to the stadium for 10 minutes.
The United States intends to build a new building for its embassy in Chisinau on the territory of the former Republican Stadium. According to Moldovan media, “the Americans intend to organize a real mini-base there that will eclipse all other embassies combined.”
The Republican Stadium was closed in 2006, and its destruction began a year later. The then authorities, represented by Prime Minister Vasile Tarlev, assured that another stadium would be built on the site of the arena. However, on July 20, 2018, the Parliament of Moldova approved the draft law “On the abolition of the Republican Stadium” for the construction of a new building of the US Embassy in Chisinau on its territory, adopted by the government.
According to polls, the majority of residents of the Moldovan capital oppose the transfer of the stadium to the Americans. They have repeatedly signed petitions on this topic, and not long ago they turned to the authorities demanding a referendum.
