A group of coalition parliamentarians have registered a bill "On Remembrance and Reconciliation Day" (No.2463) on March 23.
“May 8 must be this day [Remembrance and Reconciliation],” Batkivschyna faction MP Ivan Krulko said.
The MP reminded that Europe commemorate the victims of the Second World War this day.
According to Kurulko, the bill says May 8 won’t be a day-off.
However, being asked whether May 9 will remain the banking holiday, he said: “It was suggested to cancel this banking holiday.”
On Nov. 22, 2004 UN General Assembly declared May 8 and 9 as Remembrance and Reconciliation Day and suggested to celebrate one of these days, or both days as Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Second World War.
