Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for ties to be avoided as much as possible as a measure to save energy, reports TASS.

Although the prime minister did not specify how exactly this step would help save energy, he apparently meant that in hot weather indoors, a person feels more comfortable without a tie, which helps to save on air conditioners.

 I don't wear a tie.

This means we can all save energy too.

I have asked ministers and all civil servants, and I would also like to appeal to the private sector, if they have not already done so, not to wear ties when it is not necessary, he explained, quoted by BTA.

 Sanchez also specified that next week the government plans to approve new emergency measures aimed at saving energy.
