A quick search of newspapers for 'horario de invierno' also turns up nothing. However, keep in mind that Chile is in the midst of a government change; the inauguration of the new government is 11 March, and IIRC if the old government does nothing, the time change reverts to the old rule (March 8).
I have no idea what to do about this. I knew making the new rule permanent would cause trouble.
I'm new to this list so I don't know the history of this change. There seems to be some disagreement as to whether this change was intended to be permanent or not. I don't speak/read Spanish but the translated version of this notice seems to state that the change to April was a yearly decision and not a permanent change. http://www.gob.cl/informa/2013/02/15/gobierno-anuncia-fechas-de-cambio-de-ho... "For the third consecutive year, the Government decided to implement a limited winter schedule and extend the summer. The measure mainly to savings in energy consumption it produces." Given that a similar announcement has not been made for 2014, should we assume that the March date is the default?
