Venezuelan workers will get Fridays off in the months of April
and May, in a bid to save energy in the black-out hit country, the
president said.
President Nicolas Maduro said Venezuelans will have “long weekends”
in an appearance on state television on Wednesday night, announcing the
measure as part of a 60-day plan to fight a power crunch.
“This plan for 60 days, for two months, will allow the country to
get through the most difficult period with the most risk. I call on
families, on the youth, to join this plan with discipline, with
conscience and extreme collaboration to confront this extreme
situation,” Maduro said.
…
The majority of electricity in the country is supplied by hydropower,
from infrastructure such as the 10.2-gigawatt Guri Dam in the eastern
Bolivar state.
However, due to a drought, the water reserves which are needed to power hydroelectricity are extremely low.
Isn't socialism Great!
