Given that, after a long period, snowfall has covered the entire country, creating a substantial snow layer and difficult driving conditions on national roads, Ion Ceban, leader of the National Alternative Movement, proposed that the Government declare Friday, the third day of Christmas, a national day off, TRIBUNA reports.

“This measure would allow people who travelled to visit grandparents or relatives, as well as those in the capital, to enjoy the holidays, the winter season, and the snow together, without the pressure of rushing back.

At the same time, it would reduce risks caused by heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions.

We believe such a decision would have a positive impact both on citizens’ safety and on overall well‑being during this festive period,” the politician said.
