According to BBC News Venezuela’s government has introduced a two-day working week for civil servants, who will show up at work only on Mondays and Tuesdays due to the serious energy crises in the nation. This implies that there will be no work for civil servants on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Water levels in its main hydroelectric dam have reduced dramatically, which is making Venezuela to face a major drought.

This new policy which was announced on national television by Mr Isturiz, will affect two million public sector workers.

Some measures have been adopted in order to tackle the energy crises such as shopping centres to reduce their opening hours and generate their own energy.
