SPANISH WORKERS GO TIE-LESS TO SAVE ENERGY

Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, recently made a fashion appeal to his country - that many men have already embraced - that workers go tieless, to stay cool and save fuel. Turning up at a press conference on 29th July 2022 in Madrid, without wearing one himself, his plee was part of a series of energy saving measures, due to Spains recent heatwave.

"I would like you to see that I'm not wearing a tie." Said Sanchez. "We can all save from an energy point of view and I have asked the ministers and public officials, that when it is not necessary, they do not use it."

"And I would also like to ask the private sector that, if they haven't done it yet, when there is no need, they should not either wear a tie because, in that way, we will all be contributing to the energy savings that are so necessary in our country."
