For more information on the reactions to the words expressed by V.Tomaševskis that things like V.Tomaševskis should be shot, read here: A.Valinskas’s words about the shooting of things like V.Tomaševskis caused a scandal: it has started a pre-trial investigation.
When Valdemar Tomaszewski’s Comrade Jedinsky said that the arrests, beatings and even the killing of peaceful protesters in Belarus in the streets were “defending the constitution,” Tomaszewski himself said he was taking the words out of context. Now I take a sentence out of the context of my speech and try to pop a propaganda bubble that has nothing to do with reality.
In my speech, I in no way incited national hatred or asked for coercion. It is the simplest picturesque humorous saying in an ALTERNATIVE frame of mind, without seeking or encouraging any active action. It is a picturesque expression of my opinion on this “political figure”. My colleagues and co-workers know very well that I use a phrase like partar. My speech cannot be taken out of context and quoted in a single sentence, ruling out all circumstances without considering the intonation and humorous implications of the sentences spoken. Even the smile I did it with.
Take a sentence out of the context of my speech and try to pop a propaganda bubble that has nothing to do with reality.
I expressed my opinion about a political force openly damaging to Lithuania, which has nothing to do with the interests of the Polish national minority living in Lithuania. I have the right to have that opinion and to express it.
In the program, I did not speak about the Poles or the national minorities, but about the political force that I consider the anti-state party of Lithuania. What do the statements made only by its members about the occupation of Crimea, the damage and the killings of Belarusian protesters mean? And where else are I. Rozova’s works? I can still say: yes, in my opinion, this is an ANTI-STATE political force that has nothing to do with representing Lithuanian national minorities, especially Polish, in defense of their interests.
Even more. I believe that the massacre of tens of thousands of Poles is justified by V. Tomaševskis himself, wearing, dressing and demonstrating the Georgian ribbon. Perhaps this gentleman forgot in 1939. After Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union shared their spheres of influence, the Baltic states were occupied and the USSR invaded Poland and occupied up to 52 percent. their territories. And where else were the Polish patriots killed in Katyn?
And this politician wears a strip of occupants and proudly marches through the streets of Lithuania and follows tales that he defends and represents Polish interests. And when such an actor, who justifies the massacre of his compatriots, ironically, jokingly states that such things (I mean the dissemination and hypocrisy of such “ideas of value”) MUST BE SHOT without a sense of humor, it is clear that such suggestion of periodicity is an element of absurdity), then it becomes an INCENTION OF VIOLENCE.

Wake up, Voldemort!
In the same interview, I spoke about the Polish nation, which I respect and am proud to live in a country where many nations live and build together. However, there are those for whom such a peaceful cohabitation is unacceptable, because only by opposing Lithuanians and Poles can they pursue their low personal interests. And when those characters receive a symbolic, ironic, and humorous slap, they begin to taint others with what they smell of themselves.
This artificial escalation of the scandal is another means of not recognizing the results of the Seimas elections and desperately seeking their abolition.
By the way, of all the employees who work in my companies, it is precisely POLAND.
PS: We live in a state governed by the rule of law, if it seems to anyone that this artificial scandal has any basis, I suggest solving it legally, instead of causing absurd hysteria.
Arūnas Valinskas is a presenter, producer, former member of the Seimas and Speaker of the Seimas.
