S. Skvernelis stated that he did not agree with the position of employers’ organizations that the question of increasing the MMA should be considered after the Seimas elections.
“And what will change after the elections? After the election, those decisions will still have to be made. And accept in any case this Government still.

So there is really no need to cover elections here, “said the Prime Minister.
No agreement was found
Currently, the MMA in Lithuania is 607 euros before taxes.
Government officials propose increasing the MMA to € 642 “on paper” in 2021.
The unions want the “minimum” to be raised further to € 663. Business representatives are asking that the MMA issue not be discussed yet, that it be postponed until after the Seimas elections.
