Among the proposals is the actual extension of the May holidays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Komisja ds. Petycji Parlamentu zajmie si\u0119 inicjatyw\u0105 wprowadzenia sze\u015bciu dodatkowych dni wolnych:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following dates are proposed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>January 5 \u2014 the &quot;eve&quot; of the Three Kings holiday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good Friday \u2014 as the &#171;eve&#187; of Holy Saturday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May 2 \u2014 as the &#171;eve&#187; of May 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>October 31 \u2014 as the &#171;eve&#187; of All Saints&#8217; Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>November 10 \u2014 the &quot;eve&quot; of National Independence Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>December 31 \u2014 as the &#171;eve&#187; of New Year&#8217;s Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The author of the petition explains that he intentionally used the term &#171;eve,&#187; referring to the eve of Christmas. He emphasizes that in Polish, this word means not only December 24 but also the day or evening before an important holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI ask that the same arguments used by the Sejm to justify the introduction of a day off on December 24 be consistently applied to all the mentioned dates, as each of them meets these criteria to a comparable degree,\u201d the appeal states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the author, January 5 would allow for a peaceful conclusion to the festive New Year period and a smoother return to work duties. In turn, extending the Easter holidays would provide more time for preparation for the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImagine: on the evening of May 2, we are grilling. And the kids ask: \u2018Dad, why is today a day off?\u2019 \u2014 \u2018Because it\u2019s an important day for workers and their families. And for work-life balance,\u2019\u201d argues the petition author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man who wished to remain anonymous also provides arguments in favor of additional days off in the second half of the year. According to him, the day off on October 31 would allow for an early visit to the graves of loved ones, reducing traffic on November 1, as well as easing the combination of work and family responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The position of the Sejm&#8217;s lawyers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los inicjatywy wci\u0105\u017c jest niepewny, ale s\u0142u\u017cba prawna Sejmu ocenia go sceptycznie.
