The President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has rekindled the debate on whether to continue carrying out the seasonal time change and has announced through his social media accounts that he will ask the European Union to eliminate it.
"Changing the time twice a year no longer makes sense," Sánchez argued, who announced on Monday morning that the Spanish Government would propose to the European Union today to end the time change by 2026.
This request took place at the Energy Council, where the Spanish leader also asked for the permanent review mechanism to be launched.
In the video shared on social media, Sánchez stated that "science tells us that it no longer represents energy savings, but what science does tell us is that it disrupts biological rhythms twice a year."
At the same time, he recalled that six years ago, in 2018, the European Commission officially proposed ending the time change. In a question posed to Spaniards and the rest of Europeans, the results showed the public's support for abolishing it, but some countries prevented it from being approved at that time.
