Political parties take a break

[NewsWhore]

As a mark of respect for the Easter Week celebrations, the country's three major political parties (the PLD, PRD and PRSC) have announced that they will be taking a break from campaigning and other political activities over the vacation period. The PRSC has also said that legislators, unionists and their supporters will take part in the Red Cross rescue and emergency prevention activities during the vacation.
