Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro implements an energy-saving measure by granting public sector employees Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays off for at least two weeks. This measure aims to combat electricity shortages caused by drought and reduce energy consumption. Despite the reduced workweek, employees will receive full salaries. The ongoing economic hardships in Venezuela, including a severe recession and shortages of essential goods, have contributed to the need for energy-saving measures.
