Chisinau authorities have banned the celebration of Victory Day on the main square

Moldovan authorities have banned the holding of events in honor of Victory Day on May 9 in the main square of Chisinau. This was announced on April 22 by Alexey Petrovich, the leader of the Pobeda Coordination Committee.

According to him, the authorities have officially announced that only Europe Day will be celebrated in the republic on May 9. For these purposes, the area of the Grand National Assembly is planned to be occupied by the organization of the so-called "European town".

"Apparently, the authorities no longer consider those who intend to celebrate Victory Day to be their own citizens. There are no opportunities for them to celebrate the holiday with dignity," Petrovich added in his Telegram channel.
