“I will not even evaluate the former coach. His position was always to observe phenomena while he was in the bushes or from the field and only then comment. Therefore, I do not even appreciate him. And the current head of the country. That is what had … We both offered and had the opportunity to show that leadership. But it has always been said at the end that it is a government competence. So the government works within its powers. That is the opinion of the president, and ours it is our daily work, ”said S. Skvernelis in Eltai, commenting on the statements made by both presidents on Tuesday that the government is not taking more decisive measures in the fight against the pandemic.
According to S. Skvernelis, calls from President G. Nausėdas and the government this week to react more forcefully to the crisis caused by COVID-19 also raise doubts.
“It’s hard to appreciate such sayings when a few weeks ago it was said that it was too harsh …” Eltai said.
“Some young doctors have approached the president, who shows leadership. We are not against it. But to say that leadership must be demonstrated is only zero. Come out with initiatives, with concrete proposals … Those proposals must be based on statistics, data, data of experts. Surely then we will listen and listen, and say that we cannot do anything, “Skvernlelis explained.
He does not believe in the potential of the opposition to take over after the elections: he has neither the understanding nor the plan
Finally, the prime minister was also criticized by the opposition, whose potential to take control of the situation around the coronavirus in the country after the Seimas elections, said S. Skvernelis, had serious doubts.
“The people who claim to run the state and form a government generally have neither the understanding, nor the vision, nor the plan of what to do. Distracted by the electoral campaigns, he says that things were very bad then, that they are also bad now, because they are not like then. In such an evaluation, I miss both the professionalism and having some ideas and the plan itself. But let’s save everything for the future. If the Lithuanian people have decided that they will form a government, then they will be able to show their skills, ”said the Prime Minister.
ELTA recalls that when commenting on the rulers’ decisions regarding the coronavirus, G. Nausėda affirms that after the first wave of coronavirus, “calm moods” prevailed in the country, leading to relaxation and a second outbreak very strong virus.
Meanwhile, outgoing President D. Grybauskaitė believes that following the Seimas elections, the government will take measures that are already partially overdue to control the situation regarding the spread of the coronavirus. According to her, the appeals declared by the Young Medical Association and the Lithuanian Health Workers’ Union to President G. Nausėda and the Government to respond more decisively to the crisis caused by COVID-19 are quite accurate.
“The solutions are necessary because we know that COVID-19 beds are practically no longer available in hospitals, scheduled services are already being reduced and some rooms are being vacated. These are the signs that the government should have paid attention to for a long time, ”D. Grybauskaitė told reporters on Tuesday.
