Press Release

Clarification regarding false Order

The Prime Minister’s Office and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers would like to inform everyone that tomorrow, Tuesday, October 31^st, 2023, there will be no day off. Therefore, it will be a normal working day.

It is also reported that a fake Order has been circulated – not issued by the Prime Minister’s Office – which falsely informs the public that civil servants have been granted a day off this Tuesday, October 31^st.

The Presidency of the Council of Ministers appeals to the public, and civil servants in particular, not to take into consideration orders which, despite referring to having been issued by the Prime Minister, are not published on the Government Portal or circulated through other official media channels.
