On Wednesday, R. Juonys announced his resignation, but indicated other reasons for his resignation.

“For some time, I have felt hostility from the councilors, so I decided not to put unnecessary tension in this pre-election period or to give extra space to political speculation, so I resigned. I leave with a clear conscience – I have not done anything wrong, I do not owe anyone or I have not fulfilled the tasks assigned to me.
I know the politics behind the scenes well. The desire of some council members to appear before the next Seimas elections is also well understood. But there are limits to everything. When it comes to criticizing working methods or results, there is one thing, but when it comes to the family, it is clear to everyone that the goals are completely different.
He was not a useful administrative administrator. On two occasions, I revoked the certificates issued for the operation of a rock processing plant in the Industrial Area, and I admonished the illegally licensed worker for this and initiated an investigation into the imposition of a disciplinary sanction. Naturally, the councilors concerned did not like it very much. Therefore, the public tender for the review by the Alytus County S. Kudirka Hospital Department of Surgery was just a good pretext.
Although I am accused of organizing a non-transparent tender, I did not even attend the meetings of the Public Procurement Commission at the time when the non-compliant bidders were rejected because I was on vacation with my family and could not make any decisions. The Public Procurement Commission employs professionals, professionals who know my work well, whom I trust. Although the city was not harmed, this time the facts and arguments were defeated by emotion and a loud cry, ”says R. Juonys in his statement.
Mayor: The principal has lost confidence
And in a statement released Tuesday, the mayor of Alytus N. Cesiulis claimed that R. Juonys had lost the trust of him and the council members due to the tender for the repair of the department of surgery at S. Kudirka Hospital in Alytus .

“I had to work with Rolandas Juonis in extremely difficult circumstances: first a fire in the Industrial Zone, then a coronavirus pandemic was declared throughout the country. I had to concentrate and work for the benefit of the entire city. Although our opinions differed on some issues, during emergencies this person was not afraid to take responsibility, he tried harder than he should.
However, the city council negatively valued the 2019 activity report of the administrative director and municipal administration. Although the Local Autonomy Law does not regulate such a situation in any way, I believe it was the first serious sign that Rolandas Juonys, as head of The administration does not inspire confidence in the members of the council.
I always set the highest standards for myself and my colleagues, from professional knowledge to reputation. I have always spoken and will speak for transparency and honesty, for the courage to take responsibility and work for the benefit of all Alytus residents. I think Rolandas Juonys, as a city manager, could really do better.
Time will tell if the head of administration committed willful misconduct in organizing the public procurement tender for the Alytus County S. Kudirka Hospital Department of Surgery review. I want to believe not. On this day, however, political trust in the city council is lost.
I think the head of administration could really work better and work to gain the trust of the council members. Unfortunately, this did not happen. That is why today I offered to resign from the director “, – said Tuesday the mayor of Alytus N. Cesiulis
