In the conditions of a pandemic, I. Šimonyt who, who claims to assume command of the Government, demands that the future Minister of Health be a person who has great confidence in society. The candidate for prime minister explained that he would be a politician, because in general “a minister is a politician according to his job profile.”
“I wish I was not a person who was not very involved in politics and did not know much about political processes and political decisions. But more importantly, it should be someone who has enough authority in society to justify the decisions that politicians must make.
The advice, the recommendations, must be provided by experts, but when the recommendations of different experts differ, the decision still rests with the politicians. I would have hoped that this was the type of person whose explanatory power and personal reputation would allow them to trust the decisions that are made, ”said I. Šimonytė.
The prime minister candidate agreed that Jurgita Sejonienė, an activist from the Lithuanian Medical Movement who belongs to the Lithuanian Christian National Democratic Union and was elected to the Seimas, could possibly meet those criteria. However, he made it clear that this is not the only possible last name in this position.
“Probably to match, but I’d give more last names to match. (…) I will not say the last name now because I have not listened to the proposals of the coalition partners for the Minister of Health. If there were such proposals, and if it were a candidacy in which I would have been surprised in a good way, then it seems to me that the most important thing is to be the one who can take charge of a situation that is not pleasant immediately with great confidence ”. – I said I. Šimonytė.
The finance minister might be a technocrat, but he should also be familiar with political cuisine.
I. Šimonytė, who was the finance minister herself, did not rule out that a technocrat could also hold that position, but should know the principles of political operation.
“I rose to the position of Minister of Finance myself. I am probably capable, as I did before, but one thing is still important for me to be someone who understands political action. I had worked in politics and at the Seimas for quite a few years, and not It was difficult for me to get involved in the work of the government, because that experience, a step towards politics, was enough and it was possible to go into politics quite quickly.
The same requirement is to be a person who knows the principles of political action. That it would not be like we had it at the beginning in this Government, where people seem professional and have something to say, they know things in their field, but because they do not have much experience in interaction with Seimas, where all decisions are made at the end. experts in the field could not remain in government due to the fact that the conflict was simply out of control, ”said I. Šimonytė.
All partners have proposals for the position of Minister of Education.
The candidate acknowledged that there is more than one candidate for the position of Minister of Education, Science and Sports, and that all coalition partners have candidates for this position.
“It seems so, and I don’t think it is a bad thing, because then we can already compare several candidates, and that is the principle of evaluating who can ensure that the rails are put to reorganize the educational system that they are not dismantled after four years” . , – said I. Šimonytė.
Criticized for personnel policy
On Wednesday, the leader of the TS-LKD party list and the candidate for prime minister, the president of the TS-LKD party Gabrielius Landsbergis
“I’m very sorry, but from what we’ve seen in the last few days, it seems like this is in the best old tradition (in a bad way), when people, coming out of political power, were trying to ‘park’ their election winners or some other colleagues somewhere in some positions, where they could continue their activities.
Maybe next time there will be a man who could work even after the change of government, but when people are hired in such a hurry, a reputational shadow is also cast on those people, because then there are many doubts and the new government is tied. to choose the best. candidates who could run, ”said I. Šimonytė.
She called the operation a “beaver tradition.”
“It continues for some reason, and that’s why it’s very sad,” said I. Šimonytė.
