Argentina Sets Nov. 21–24 Extra‑Long Weekend as Peru Confirms Moquegua Day Off, Denies Mid‑Month Rumor

Officials emphasize the legal distinction governing who actually gets time off.

Overview

  • Argentina moves the National Sovereignty Day to Monday, Nov. 24 and declares Friday, Nov. 21 a tourism-focused non‑working day, creating a four‑day break.
  • Under Argentine law, the Nov. 24 feriado is mandatory nationwide, while the Nov. 21 non‑working day is chiefly for the public sector and optional for private employers.
  • Several Buenos Aires municipalities set Nov. 20 administrative asuetos for local anniversaries, giving many public employees in places like Magdalena, Porvenir and Pedro Luro a potential five‑day stretch.
  • Argentina’s Municipal Employee Day is being shifted locally to Nov. 7 or Nov. 10 in multiple cities, applying to municipal staff with essential services on limited duty and the private sector operating normally.
  • Peru designates Tuesday, Nov. 25 as non‑working in Mariscal Nieto (Moquegua) under DS 093‑85‑PCM for public workers, while the official gazette rejects claims of a separate nationwide long weekend from Nov. 14–17.
