Holiday canceled two days in advance: ex-ombudsman criticized Zelensky's decree.

Sergiy Horbachev expressed his criticism regarding President Volodymyr Zelensky's decision to move the celebration of Children's Day to November 20. He believes that such a decision has led to chaos among organizers of children’s events.

This decision was a surprise for many educators, activists, and organizers of children's events. The president's decree has damaged the organizers of the celebrations who have already spent significant amounts on preparations, as they now have a lot of excess materials.

It should be noted that the Universal Children's Day, proposed by the UN in 1954 and celebrated on November 20, aims to draw public attention to children's issues worldwide. This holiday emphasizes the adherence to children's rights by all countries around the globe.

Ukrainian journalist Sergiy Horbachev expressed his dissatisfaction with the president's decision to move Children's Day to a new date. This sparked chaos among the celebration organizers and damaged their budgets. It is worth noting that the global Children's Day on November 20 is aimed at drawing attention to the problems of children all over the world and advocating for their rights.
