“It just came to our attention then. In the first round I thought a little more, and now I had nothing to think about, I made a very easy decision,” said G. Nausėda after the vote.
When asked what criteria the district candidates had, the president replied that the person would actually serve Lithuania. G. Nausėda belongs to the Naujoji Vilnia constituency and chose between two candidates in the second round: the conservative Monika Navickienė and the Polish Lithuanian election campaign: Romualda Poševeckaja, candidate of the Union of Christian Families.
“First of all, that the person really serves Lithuania, so that his honesty and decency are not in doubt. In this case, perhaps political imaginations, ideologies are secondary.
I am convinced that you can love Lithuania by being a conservative, a social democrat, a liberal and belonging to another party. We just imagine how to create Lithuania differently.
I have voted correctly in both cases. I am happy that I made an easy and clear decision, ”said G. Nausėda.

Supports current measures to manage the Covid-19 pandemic
President Gitan Nauseda supported the current government’s measures that were introduced to handle the Covid-19 pandemic, and asked the population to refrain from holding rallies.
“I will remind you of our visit to the National Center for Public Health, where we agreed that the military can get involved and help civil authorities deal with the call center and traceability issues, because simply the NVSC specialists no longer deal with the workload, they experience enormous psychological stress.
This decision is made practically at the military level, all you need to do is appeal. Seeing that the numbers are not improving, we really must, and we must all get the job done together.
I support measures to control the coronavirus. The only problem is that we may have been able to achieve a better result in another way, that is, through traceability, isolation, compliance with security measures, and we should not make such drastic decisions today, “said G Nausėda.
According to him, world experience shows that it is not necessarily possible to measure up to a situation in which closure is natural.
“Of course, it is possible to point the finger at countries where the situation is even worse, but I find this approach unacceptable because I interpret it differently. Such an exhibition does not mean that it is very good for us, but that it can be even worse than in those other countries, ”said G. Nausėda.
He addressed the population: he asked that the rallies be postponed
G. Nausėda also appealed to the people of Lithuania, calling for the meetings to be postponed, “so that we can live in a safer, freer and more comfortable environment.”
“It would really encourage people to do what can be done without even putting in more effort. We all have beautiful traditions in the family circle, for the birthday celebration, but maybe today is the time when we can put off those comfortable seats a bit in a larger group of friends.
We can reduce the birthdays of a child, and perhaps not invite so many children from other families, districts, so that this virus does not spread and, above all, does not spread in our immediate environment.
Therefore, let’s follow those requirements that are marked, let’s not pay by hand, assuming they are frivolous claims that they do nothing. Trust me, if scientists say it helps, they mean it and it helps, ”said G. Nausėda.
Sedimentation: Decisions on coronavirus management should not depend on elections
On Tuesday, President G. Nausėda declared that to handle the pandemic, when the resources of human epidemiologists were no longer sufficient, this issue should be addressed not by grinding our tongues, but by planning the 2021 budget. According to him, the current situation with Regarding COVID-19, it is so serious that it is necessary to forget all the other things and solve this problem.
When evaluating the current pandemic situation, the president stated that “the situation is so serious that we must forget about everything else and look for a solution to this problem.”
According to G. Nausėda, decisions about the management of the coronavirus should not depend on the elections, but must have a coherent and scientifically based strategy for what is being done.
I hope that the new ruling majority, whatever it is, let’s not discuss it, really realize the seriousness of the situation, because the situation is not serious, the situation is very serious, the situation is so serious that we must forget about all the other things and take the solution. “, – emphasized the president.
When you start hand stats, stop again
Furthermore, he said, the time between the quarantine and the second wave of coronavirus was not used properly.
“It just came to our notice then. There was a bit of wavering humor when we rightly believed that we had overcome the first wave very well. (…) But these calming moods have probably become our own; I cannot say that Lithuania is the only one here, it seems, today all of Europe, who is blushing at the negative statistics, can probably blame herself for being too relaxed or for hoping that at least the second wave will at least not be greater than the first. (.. .)
We are now at a point where we probably still have to choose between solving the problem without shutting down the entire economy and stopping all public life, locating hot spots, identifying them, tracing the cause, and isolating people.
If we just let the current statistics out of control and yet, say, the number of cases increases to four, five hundred per day or, God forbid, a thousand, there are such predictions, then we have practically no other choice, we stop everything, we return to a temporary freeze. condition, ”said the head of state.
He added that the more now is not the time to look for who – directors or department heads – work the better:
“Today, there are some general problems, without which all other issues will be irrelevant. Because we will just let the gin slip through our fingers and then we will no longer have control of this situation.”
After meeting with representatives of the National Center for Public Health and scientists, the president pointed out that most of the problems are mainly related to the lack of funding for front-line professionals.
“Some things can still be done this year, but looking to the future, it is certainly not enough to contribute an additional million or several hundred thousand euros, which will be used to pay off existing debts and will not have a significant impact. We estimate that an additional 4 million euros would be needed and we need to reach a political agreement on these issues, “the president said after the meeting.
