President Hugo Chavez has been changing a lot of things since he’s been in office, from the constitution to the ownership of certain industries in Venezuela. And his quest to change things is apparently not over, as he wants to change the time in Venezuela by half an hour:

“We are hoping that we get the opportunity to have the time change in efect before the beginning of the school year, said Minister of Science and Technology, Héctor Navarro.

With the time change the difference between the legal time in Venezuela with respect to Greenwich Mean Time will go from minus 4 hours (-4.00 GMT) to minus four and a half (-4.30 GMT).

The objective, according to the Minister, is that workers feel more rested when they wake up in the morning, as they will be waking with the sun rather than getting up when it’s still dark outside.
