Spanish Prime Minister Calls for Citizens to Ditch Ties to Conserve Energy

Spanish Prime Minister announced today that citizens should refrain from wearing neckties as part of a new energy‑saving appeal. He argued that the routine care of ties, such as washing and ironing, adds to household electricity use and that collective abstention could lower overall demand. The suggestion arrives as Spain faces higher power consumption during recent heatwaves, prompting the government to promote various conservation measures. No formal regulation has been issued; the call remains advisory, aiming to raise public awareness about everyday energy waste.
