Venezuela cuts public sector hours
Venezuelan Acting President Delsy Rodriguez announced the gradual reduction of working hours for public sector employees day by day, in an effort to conserve electricity due to the rising demand, which reached 15,726 megawatts, despite the available capacity not exceeding 12,000 megawatts. This comes amid increasing power outages, especially outside Caracas, driven by economic growth, mismanagement, and lack of maintenance, even as spending continues in the interior regions despite the new measures. The actions also include implementing half-days for employees, except in essential sectors, to help alleviate the strain on the electricity grid, which is under significant pressure.
