Former President George W. Bush calls for an end to the partial closure of the government, which is approaching a month and is currently the longest closure in the history of the United States.

In a call on Instagram, the 43rd president called "leaders on both sides to put politics aside, to come together and end this closure." The legend was displayed with an image of him and former First Lady Laura Bush giving a pizza to their secret service.

At the time of Bush's post, the government was in the 28th day of partial closure, affecting approximately 800,000 federal workers. Secret Service agents are among some 420,000 government employees deemed "essential" at the time of the closure and are currently working without pay.

"@ LauraWBush and I are grateful to the staff of our secret services and the thousands of federal employees who work tirelessly for our country," said the former president. "And we thank our fellow citizens who support them."

Churches, restaurants, savings and credit co-ops and corporations step in to help feed and fund government employees, who have now missed a paycheck – and until Friday At night, the leaders had not yet reached an agreement.

President Donald Trump, who said he would not sign a bill to fund the government not including $ 5.7 billion for the US-US border wall project Mexican, makes an announcement regarding the closing of Saturday.

The financing of the wall is at the heart of the partial closure of the government, which left government agencies without funds to operate or pay their employees.

During the week leading up to the Christmas holidays, Trump had initially announced that he would be signing an interim measure passed unanimously in the Senate that would have funded the government until February 8, even if it did not include the wall funds. He then turned around saying that he would not sign such a bill. In the Senate, the number of votes was not enough to exceed the funding set at the border, the government began a partial closure on December 22.

On January 3, Democrats led by Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi took control of the House and declared that Mr. Trump would not get funding for his wall. The House has since passed a bill to reopen the government (without wall funds), but the measures have not yet been passed in the Republican-led Senate. At the time when the stop, which is the longest in modern history, is approaching the benchmark of a month, it is unclear how that will end.

But Bush, who has never seen a government suspended during his two terms, hopes that the leaders will reach an agreement so that federal employees can return to work and receive their pay check.
