There is a tense atmosphere in Malmö ahead of the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Tuesday evening: The Jewish community is living under increased security measures due to an increase in anti-Semitic incidents. There are more and more protests and even terror warnings. Police have increased their presence and all security measures on site, and experts warn of possible clashes during the event.
The Israeli delegation is currently subject to particularly strict security measures: singer Eden Golan is said to have been asked by the Shin Bet secret service to leave her hotel room as little as possible. Nevertheless, the organizers point to an “extremely stable” security situation and hope for a lively number of visitors.
How does the population deal with this tense situation? A team of krone.tv reporters asked the residents of Malmö.
