“I’m really looking forward to the time when the government changes. There will definitely be a well of information, a void, there will be a lack of experience. It is natural. I’m not really trying to say that the people who change are someone more stupid or worse. They can be very good, professional … But with each new position, it takes time to understand the processes, to delve into them. But there simply won’t be time to delve into them. All the work will have to be done immediately, the next day. ” A. Veryga explained to journalists at a press conference held on Friday.
According to him, the new Government and specifically the Minister of Health, who will replace him in office, will not have a symbolic 100 days to enter the most important works.
“Decisions to control the infection cannot be stopped for an hour, and no one will have to accelerate in this situation for 100 days, as usual,” the minister said.
At the same time, A. Veryga did not hide his remaining outrage that the leaders of the right-wing forces that made up the new coalition, he said, refused to accept the proposed aid during the transition period.
“The current opposition and the future position do not seem to be able to detach themselves from the electoral mood. They still live with the idea that they have to oppose someone, he argues. What you will do will not really benefit Lithuania, ”said A. Veryga.
“It is a shame that this is happening, but I will no longer offer to help anyone through coercion,” he emphasized.
Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis on Friday voiced criticism similar to the conservatives’ refusal to accept advice on how to handle the COVID-19 situation. The Prime Minister assured that he himself had invited the newly elected forces to speak about the pandemic.
“The winning forces of the elections continue to criticize the old rivals. However, after receiving an invitation to sit at the table and familiarize yourself with the situation in detail, plunge into the shadows. It is probably the new fad of that strongest Lithuania ”Wrote the Prime Minister on Facebook.
Conservatives deny having responded to the proposed assistance: we ourselves invited the minister
Conservatives soon responded to these statements by the head of government. According to them, S. Skvernel’s statement is a lie. According to the representatives of the Lithuanian Christian National-Democratic Union (TS-LKD), his faction in the Seimas also invited A. Veryga to a closed session. However, the latter did not have time to participate.
“It is a pity that the current rulers are lying. We have not received any invitation. On the contrary, we ourselves invited Minister Aurelius Veryga to a closed-door meeting of the group to discuss the situation. The minister has not found the time to come, so the current public speeches of your prime minister are simply manipulation and shaking of responsibilities. For the moment, we have initiated consultations with experts, we invite them to help and share their experience with the Seimas. Already next week, we deliver our agenda opposition and the Seimas rostrum to the community of doctors and experts, who will present their recommendations and proposals, ”said Vytautė Šmaižytė, TS-LKD Communications Manager.
