MODERATORS
Germany isn't that much better, in most states you get two public holidays between June and December, 3rd October and either reformation day or all-saints' day, and those can all be on the weekend so in a bad year you get zero additional days off.
I am from Saxony and there you get Buß- und Bettag, that's always a Wednesday. You still get 2 holidays four times out of six years in the worst case in other states.
Saxonians have to pay more social contributions in exchange for this day though.
