Due to the energy crisis, Nicolás Maduro cut the day's work and gave rest during Holy Week

The President of Venezuela has announced that he will only work from 8 am to 2 pm and that the next three days will be a holiday enjoying Easter.

The crisis affecting Venezuela has been serious for some time. But its president, Nicolás Maduro, continues to claim that nothing happens, even if it costs more. That's why he had to take action based on the duration of work and thus look for a way to deal with the complex energy situation.

In the Official Gazette No. 41614 of 10 April, a reduction in working hours was published until Tuesday, 30 April. It will go from 8 am to 2 pm, both for the public sector and for the private sector. "to guarantee the continuity of the supply of the electrical service in the country".

Also, in a speech last Saturday, Maduro said: "As we are in the battle of Holy Week, I decided not to announce it in time, but I want to do it today: give the work break on Monday 15, Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 to the workers of Venezuela on the occasion of Holy Week to take advantage of these days to recover the terrorist attack against the electrical system ".

Prime Minister Chavez has alleged a terrorist attack on the power grid to try to justify the complications that his country has been going through for a long time, seeking to be guilty of not taking responsibility for the national and social emergency.

Increasingly against the ropes, Maduro has no choice but to accept this week the arrival of humanitarian aid from the Red Cross, just when the United States armed forces issue an ultimatum on a possible military intervention against his regime before the end of the month. year
