The Ministry of Labor does not rule out the extension of the May holidays

The Ministry of Labor began to consider proposals to increase the duration of the May holidays, but no final decisions have been made yet, said the head of the department, Anton Kotyakov.

"I know that we have proposals, including, in my opinion, from the deputy corps, but they are still under consideration. We have not yet accepted questions on them", - the minister said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the leader of the Fair Russia party in the State Duma, Sergei Mironov, proposed making weekends between May holidays annually due to the New Year holidays.

It's worth reminding that proposals to extend the May holidays in connection with the unfavorable epidemiological situation for coronavirus began to arrive in April this year. However, when the journalists asked the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov for clarification, he did not confirm that the authorities were planning to approve such a scenario.
