Overview
- The government formalized the move through Resolution 164/2025, published in the Official Gazette and signed by Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni.
- The designated dates are Monday 23 March, Friday 10 July and Monday 7 December 2026.
- Each date sits next to a national holiday—March 24, July 9 and December 8—creating four-day breaks for those who observe them.
- The decision draws on Law 27.399 and Decree 614/2025, which authorize up to three such days and name the Cabinet Office as implementing authority.
- As non-working days, observance is generally followed in public administration, schools and banks but is optional for private employers, the rule takes effect the day after publication, and tourism leaders greeted the calendar as favorable for planning.
