Planned very well. This is a ruse adopted to put hora votes when the staff is depleted

A parting gift from a failed regime to the public servants. If the government cannot handle this simple task how can we expect it to handle the affairs of the state. Incidentally, the shortage of gas continues unabated with the authorities throwing a blind eye on the problem.
