Diplomats and directors at the Foreign Affairs Ministry start a two-day strike to denounce the delay in carrying out diplomatic transfers and rotations
Diplomats and directors within the Foreign Affairs Ministry have taken action. On Thursday and Friday, they observed a two-day strike to claim their right to diplomatic transfers and rotations of roles that have been expected for months but have not come to fruition. They may even resort to an open-ended strike from Monday, one diplomat said on condition of anonymity. Such a move could jeopardize the vote of more than 225,000 expatriates who registered last November to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
