Interim President of Venezuela Delsi Rodríguez announced an extension of the Easter holidays for public sector workers, including employees of ministries and the education system, from Monday through Friday. The decision is linked to the implementation of the national Energy Saving Plan, aimed at mitigating the effects of the climate crisis, which has led to record-high temperatures and an increase in wildfires across the country. According to Rodríguez, the emergency climate situation requires the continuous deployment of emergency services, and extending the holidays will help reduce the strain on the power system and protect essential services, especially healthcare for the Venezuelan population.
