In the morning after the elections, Aušrinė Armonaitė thanked everyone who voted for the Freedom Party. “We have managed to spread the message that a positive policy is possible in Lithuania,” he said.
Along with her, the press conference was attended by the former rector of Vilnius University prof. Artūras Žukauskas and Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius.
12 candidates for the second round
In the second round, the party will have 12 candidates, which A. Armonaitmona named as a very good result. How many winners will there be, he said, unable to say. The Freedom Party candidates entered the second round in Vilnius, Kaunas, Lithuanian constituencies around the world, as well as Elektrėnai-Kaišiadorys, which may have come as a surprise to many.
TVRaskevičius described the performance of the Freedom Party as a victory: “We will do everything possible over the next four years to make this country for everyone.”
A.Žukauskas is convinced that students and teachers vote for parties. When asked if the former rector of Vilnius University would agree to become Minister of Education, he replied that he had experience and would agree, although the field of education must change, which comes at a price.
We will not come to power at all costs and sell our souls for chairs.
When asked if he was considering the position or the opposition, A. Armonait que said that the first round was not a final, as it was the NBA final at night. “We will not come to power at any cost and we will not sell our souls for chairs. Let’s see what the results of the second round will be,” said the leader of the Freedom Party.
However, he did not promise to release restrictions on the coronavirus when he came to power, but would like to bring more rationality and hopes that people are socially responsible.
A. Armonaitė stated that when they come to power, they will definitely not investigate what they did 10-15 years ago. “Alcohol restrictions are the closest to people, those restrictions should be reviewed. But we will act responsibly, we have to set priorities: education, digitization, “he said.

R. Karbauskis’s words are called compliments
So far, according to A. Armonaitė, they have not spoken to anyone about the future coalition.
When asked how it happened here, the Freedom Party did not predict even 5 percent, and received 9 percent. Voter confidence, which is more than 100,000. A.Armonaitė said that he had visited Lithuania several times, replying to all the messages he received.
However, he did not say that a good performance was only a success, it is a consequence of serious work, and he worked hard for a year and a half, moreover, A.Armonaitė hopes to contribute, and his work at Seimas had to do it too.
I want people to control the power they have chosen. R. Karbauskis wants to control the people who elected him.
Ramūnas Karbauskis has already stated that the only party with which he cannot imagine collaborating is the Freedom Party. A.Armonaitė stated that he accepts this as a compliment, because the opinions do not really coincide: he named the “peasants” as those who want to rule the people from the high platform, and the Freedom Party wants to cooperate, have more positivity and openness in politics.
“Our assumptions about how we view politics, people, are different. I want people to control the power they have chosen. R. Karbauskis wants to control the people who elected him. This is a fundamental difference, which is then reflected in real decisions, ”said A.Armonaitė.
According to her, the main differences with the conservatives became clear after installing a beach in Lukiškės square, not only because of the beach itself, but also because of the valuation of historical memory and the culture of discussion.

“But conservatives are conservatives, liberals are liberals, I think you can find a lot of those differences. Let’s see how knowledge is communicated in economic policy, now the National Union is manifesting itself as a left force on these issues. We believe that the person who creates the workplace for himself and others should have space to spread the idea.
Human rights issues: It seems to me that there is no party in Lithuania without the Freedom Party, which would include human rights issues on its agenda as a TOP3 priority, ”said A. Armonaitė.
VTRaskevičius does not deny the image of the ocean
During the election campaign, VTRaskevičius repeatedly appeared in disguise in the ocean. He said he could draw attention to himself in this way, but his focus at Seimas was human rights issues and their solution.
I needed to disguise myself as an election campaign clown to draw the attention of politicians and the public to the concerns of my community.
“The Lithuanian government has been misleading my community for 30 years, promising change. I needed to disguise myself as an election campaign clown to draw the attention of politicians and the public to my community’s concerns. Since I have been sitting here, I have succeeded. “said a representative of the Freedom Party.
However, she joked that she could also appear in parliament in a skirt.
“There is always a place and a time for the ocean to appear. In the Seimas, it may be necessary to meet one of the politicians who is famous for such homophobic statements, if that happens, I think I will give him such a gift, ”smiled VTRaskevičius.
