President of the liberal movement: second round redesigns political map, several surprises are expected

We can see a number of surprises.

The president of the Liberia Movement, Viktorija Čmilytė, says on the Nielsen Delfi Day program that after the second round we can expect to see a number of surprises.

“Already after the first round, you can see that the voice of the liberals will be heard in this Seimas like never before. I am very happy about that, of course, the second round is waiting, as is often the case in Lithuanian politics, the second round redraws the political map, several surprises can be expected.

After the first round, it seems that there will be a so-called women’s coalition or leave the center-left coalition on the other side, but on Sunday night we will see the results and what the deployment will be, ”says the politician.

Politics: this is good news for liberal voters and politicians

According to her, a concrete work in education, economy and environment is already planned.

“I am convinced that our objective is, above all, to implement the commitments that we have clearly established in our program: education, the economy and the environment are important to us. We have specific work in these areas. Health cannot be left out either. , and it will be important because the world is trying to deal with the coronavirus crisis, “said the interlocutor.

When asked if such a scenario is not terrible, that if we had to stand together with the conservatives, we would have to forget some principles and values, V. Čmilytė Niesen assured that politics is an art of compromise.

“Politics is an art of compromise, it is natural that everyone in the ruling coalition has to agree on something with the partners, but, as I have already mentioned, in this Seimas for 2024, there are likely to be more liberal politicians than ever. .

This is good news for both the liberal voters who expect freedom and responsibility in the Seimas, because they will have to make fewer commitments, it is also good news for the liberals in the Seimas, because we will be able to do a lot of work, “said the politician in the Program.

It sure would be harder with the conservatives

When asked which parties still have the most in common, the politician named the Social Democrats and the Freedom Party.

“It just came to our knowledge then. If we talk about human rights, I see many points with the social democrats, we always find common ground in the field of human rights. Of course, with the Freedom Party, although we see the field of the human rights perhaps a little broader than them, but I think we would agree on many initiatives, and it would be a little more complicated with the conservatives, “said the politician on the program.

The interlocutor also assured that the success of the Barco Party in the first electoral round was an unexpected surprise.

“In fact, the Ship Party has presented such a pleasant surprise, in the sense that it is a brilliant new force that has become one of the surprises of the first round of the elections, and I, as I have said before, is a victory for liberal voters. “
