Opposing liberal Jonas Liesys questioned whether Francis should travel to Poland and then spend 14 days in solitary confinement after Francis declared an initiative on Friday to take the initiative to comply with the president’s request and participate in the centenary of the battle, too. known as the “miracle on the Vistula”. The parliamentarian recalled that an important extraordinary meeting will take place next week, where issues will be raised and a resolution will be adopted on the situation in Belarus.
“Yesterday after the conversation with the President of the Gitan Nauseda Republic … He asks to go to Poland to represent him, since the issue of Belarus is currently increasing. Tomorrow, in addition to the centennial “Miracle on the Vistula”, there will be delegations from other Polish countries: the Secretary of the United States, Mike Pompeo. The president of Ukraine is likely to arrive. At the request of the President, I should commit and leave, ”said V. Pranckietis, adding that to reduce the chances of contracting COVID-19, cars would be used.
“Going would be by car, to ensure as little communication as possible between people … To protect the people who go, including … I too am just one person,” explained V. Pranckietis to the board members.
However, the detailed plan of the president of the Seimas did not impress the liberal J. Liesis. According to him, having participated in the event in Poland, he will probably not be able to participate in the extraordinary session of the Seimas convened on Tuesday due to the valid mandatory isolation of returnees and arrivals from Poland.
“All the people are in quarantine, so now you will have 14 days to return from Poland to quarantine with the entire delegation. How we will work You will not be able to hold a meeting on Tuesday,” Liesys said, emphasizing that the initiative is not appropriate.
“I don’t think the president should go there. Can’t ambassadors do the same job?” The politician asked.
“You are absolutely right. I could no longer hold a meeting on Tuesday. However, I hope to participate remotely (…) But the interest of the state is very important”, spoke the Spokesman of the Seimas in response to the position of J. Furthermore, he said, ambassadors could not replace the president at an event of this level.
“It just came to our notice then. The ambassador will not be able to change the president there,” responded V. Pranckietis.
For his part, the leader of the “social workers” Gediminas Kirkilas considered as a “sacrifice” the initiative shown by V. Pranckietis to participate in the event to be held in Poland.
“If the president makes a sacrifice, it is necessary to drive. This is something very important. You will do nothing. If there is a request from the president, I think it is necessary to go, ”said Kirkilas.
After the Board approved the release of the Seimas Spokesperson to the event, V. Pranckietis thanked its members.
As announced by the Ministry of Health on Friday, the 14-day isolation does not apply in exceptional cases, which apply only to the arrival of the Republic of Poland.
