Venezuela halts two-day work week, mitigates power disbursement

Venezuela alleviated energy distribution, which led to removing a two-day work week for almost 3 million employees in the public sector. Electricity Minister Luis Motta said increasing water supply at the Guri reservoir led to the government's decision. According to officials, the administration implemented the measures in response to drought this year and have helped lower power consumption in the country. But critics reiterated the government should be blamed, saying such moves fail to resolve electricity scarcity since people would simply use appliances in another place.
