I am a member of the choir of veterans of the city house of culture, so I perceive the GDK as something native and necessary. I like to attend concerts with other bands that are often there. All this gives only positive emotions.
The leadership changed, and the festival of Asian culture was canceled. They referred to the fact that Japanese animation promotes some wrong values. I attend such festivals with my whole family, and I know a lot of people who go there with their children and parents. Such events unite several generations, are family leisure, and also provide an opportunity to travel around the country and visit a previously unknown city. From all this, I conclude that the new leadership belittles family values and opposes the institution of the family, which I consider unacceptable.
