Recently, the President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, presented his government report at the Palacio de Moncloa and did something very peculiar and strange to outsiders: he did not wear a tie as a sign of his new proposal.
In the message from the government representative, he asked officials, companies and the general public to suspend the use of ties to save energy. According to the president, if people stop using it, they will have less heat and will be able to lower the air conditioning and, in this way, energy savings would be achieved.
Before finishing, I would like you to see that I am not wearing a tie; that means that we can all also save from an energy point of view and I have asked the ministers, all public officials and the private sector, if they have not already done so, that when it is not necessary, not to wear a tie , because in this way we will also be facing the energy saving that is so necessary in our country.
However, the response to the proposal was not good, as the right-wing party, the Popular Party, criticized the leader for requesting this and then using a helicopter to go to the Palace. In addition to this, the president of this party, Elías Bendodo, considers that the president has tried to launch this measure as a distraction from the attention of citizens due to the new inflation figure that confirms the country’s economic problems.
It is known that the prices of electricity in Spain have increased in recent months and it is estimated that, in large part, it is due to the heat wave that reached up to 47.5 centigrade.
On the other hand, the president of the Textile, Accessories and Leather Trade Business Association, Eduardo Zamácola, stated that the textile industry has been seriously affected by the pandemic and this type of recommendation could cause business closures and job losses. .
