Deputies against, businessmen — for: whether it is necessary to do on a day off in Tatarstans on December 31?
Despite the president's promise to consider it, not everyone believes that Russians need another day of rest on New Year's eve
Vladimir Putin has promised to think over the proposal to make December 31 a day off in Russia. The controversy has been raging for weeks. The Kazan Kremlin expressed that to declare the last day of the year as a holiday is inexpedient from the economic and practical points of view. Deputies and businessmen interviewed by Realnoe Vremya disagreed about the initiative to transfer the rest day on December 31.
Vladimir Putin said he was not averse to thinking about giving Russians a day off on December 31. The president, however, frankly admitted that he does not yet know how to do it — there is little time left.
“It is already the middle of December, the New Year holidays are approaching. I do not know what we will do about December 31. There is very little time left to make a decision of this kind. But I heard you too,” the Russian leader said.
Meanwhile, the survey of Realnoe Vremya showed that not everyone believes that Russians need another day off, even on the eve of the most beloved national holiday.
