Parents of children in the Prionezhsky District of the Republic of Karelia and Petrozavodsk have been finally paid in full the parental compensation for raising a child in kindergarten (for missed days) which is due to them according to the law. This is stated in the response of the Public Prosecutor’s Office to the appeal of Emilia Slabunova, a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Karelia from Yabloko.

In the Prionezhsky district, a recalculation was carried out and 45 parents received the corresponding compensations. In Petrozavodsk, recalculation was made for 13,738 parents.

This became possible thanks to a resident of Petrozavodsk Artyom Gladkiy, who was the first to talk about the problem and achieved compensation for his family due for 2018-2020, and also due to Emilia Slabunova, a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Karelia, who made the information public and sent an appeal to the Public Prosecutor’s Office asking them to defend the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens in court.

“The Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Karelia, together with the Ministry of Education and Sports of the Republic of Karelia, checked the calculation of parental compensation. In all municipal districts and urban districts, except for the Prionezhsky municipal district and the Petrozavodsk urban district, the calculation was carried out correctly. Parents from the Prionezhsky district and Petrozavodsk the authorities are obliged to pay the money to parents by 1 May, 2021,” Emilia Slabunova noted.
