“I see different signals sent by the government: on the one hand, Prime Minister Skvernel explains that the purchase of the rapid COVID-19 tests was a great success story, but on the other hand it raises the question of VGT so that there are no interpretations , misunderstandings, etc., how. As if to deny his arguments, which he uses in other situations, “said I. Šimonytė on Friday on the radio station Žinių’s” Opinių “program.

According to the politician, the rulers evade responsibility by asking the VGT to discuss the issue.

“I would appreciate the same as the Presidency: that this is a way of trying to transfer responsibility to other levels of government and other decision makers,” said I. Šimonytė.

The Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga, has stated that the Presidency is ignoring the Government’s initiative to discuss issues of responsibility for the purchase of the COVID-19 vaccine in the State Defense Council. For his part, Darius Kuliešius, advisor to President Gitanas Nausėda, replied that Health Minister A. Veryga was responsible for this. According to him, the president believes that it is the minister who must devote his attention, time and determination to the performance of direct duties, not to attempts to evade responsibilities.

This position of the presidency was outraged by the rulers and Prime Minister S. Skvernelis.
