Neringa Venckien, who has been deprived of the mandate of a member of the Seimas for five years, has been transferred to the first place in the Seimas. This decision was made by the Central Electoral Commission (CEC). In addition, a representative of the Krikioni Union was registered as a candidate in the Seimas, without claiming that he had cooperated with special Soviet structures.
Laura Matjoaityt, president of the CEC, reminded commission members at Tuesday’s meeting that in 2015, the Seimas voted by a majority that the oath and cruelty of N. Venckien, who was a member of parliament at the time, violated the Constitution, therefore, the impeachment procedure revoked the mandate of its member of the Seimas.
Ms Venckienė was charged in connection with the legal protection of her statement in 2010-2012. active participation in the so-called Garliava pedophilia scandal, failure to execute a judicial decision on the return of a foster girl to her mother, etc.
The Constitutional Court (CC) established through its resolution that such legal regulation is approved in the Constitution when a person whose mandate of a member of the Seimas has violated the violation of the Constitution has been revoked under the impeachment procedure may never be elected member of the Seimas in accordance with the Constitution, nor may he hold said position. the beginning is linked to the taking of the oath provided for in the Constitution.
Appeal against the decision of the Strasbourg court
N. Venckien herself participated in the CEC meeting on Tuesday. She initially tried to convict L. Matjoaityte and several other members of the commission, but their claim was unanimously rejected as unfounded.
Later, Ms Venckien tried to convince the CEC members that her accusation had been illegal. Furthermore, she argued that the CEC had no right to decide on her non-registration as a candidate for the Seimas, as the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Rolandas Paksas, who had been removed from office as President of Lithuania, had ruled that it is disproportionate stop seeking the position of president or member of the Seimas at the end of your life.
The CEC has no right to ignore the decision of the Strasbourg court, to ignore j. By the way, the statements of the president of the CEC and some members that the Lithuanian laws should be changed to allow me to register the members of the Seimas as candidates after the decision of the European Court of Human Rights do not need to be adjusted. The CEC should not follow CC rulings contrary to the Constitution and decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, demanding that it register as a candidate, N. Venckien spoke at the CEC meeting.
But after more than an hour of discussion, the CEC rejected his request, arguing that it only implements and does not change the law and does not evaluate it legally, and the Seimas electoral law contains a provision on not registering a person who has been prosecuted. as a candidate for parliamentarians. Even the CC will declare more than once that in order to allow people removed by impeachment to participate in the Seimas, presidential elections again or to exercise other functions related to the constitutional oath after a time, it is first necessary to amend the Constitution. This has not been done so far.
The CEC’s decision not to register N. Venckiens as a candidate for the Seimas was voted unanimously by all the commissioners present at the 10th meeting.
Representatives of the route of courage assure that they will take the opportunity to appeal to a court such a decision of the CEC.
The first issue is no longer in the electoral stream of Drsa Road, with Jonas Varkala, the party president, in the second. The CEC’s decision does not change the order of the candidates.
The Drsa Road party itself will be the first line ballot on the multi-constituency ballot.
You don’t mention cooperation with Soviet structures.
On Tuesday, the CEC also registered Dalia Marija Staniens, a candidate from the Krikioni Union, who did not indicate in the election questionnaire that she had cooperated with the Soviet special services.
The candidate who attended the meeting confirmed that he had in fact agreed to send a report on the displacement to Poland to people from that institution, as he was granted a short stay abroad. However, he never hid this, then took part in Sjdio’s activities and spoke about it, explaining everything to the then Lustration Commission. She assured him that she had hastily read the wording of the questionnaire and did not understand it that way, so she made a mistake again by allowing her to correct the information and stand for election.
However, the CEC members unanimously decided not to register the candidate, as she had not provided the information required in the questionnaire. DM Stanien also has the right to appeal the CEC decision to the administrative court.
The Seimas elections will be held on October 11.
