[Bug localedata/20747] es_VE first day of the week should be Monday


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20747

--- Comment #6 from sourceware at sipao dot net ---
The social question site's answers are 9 years old (see below), only one answer
is specific to Venezuela and the advanced religious explanations do no reflect
common civil life because christianism is not so present in public, state or
business affairs in Venezuela
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_Venezuela).

The term for weekend is, as in English "fin de semana" (end of the week). That
includes Sunday.

http://www.tsj.gob.ve isn't loading for me either.

For Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela the week starts on Monday:

For the Yellow Pages of Cantv (State-owned phone company) the week starts on
Monday:

Around me, all Android phones' default calendar app have Monday as the first
day.

One of the most known calendars in Venezuela is "Calendario Polar", named after
the largest beer brand (You can google image it if you want to see half naked
ladies), shows Sunday as the first day for the 2008 edition but Monday as the
first day for 2012, so there must have been a shift.

I can send you pictures of the calendars around me at the office if you wish.
