“Immediately after the elections we said that, as the second partner of the coalition, we would see the bases dictated by political tradition to run for the position of president of Seimas, but all positions are currently on the table”, says V. Čmilytė-Nielsen .
Speaking about the work of the new government, he agrees that I. Šimonytė’s initiative to take personal responsibility for the management of the coronavirus is necessary.
“This is a crisis that has to be managed and, in my opinion, entrusting it solely to the Minister of Health is not the right model.

Šimonytė will demonstrate ”, the president of the Liberal Movement is convinced.

Although the issue of partnership is included in the draft coalition agreement, the president of the Liberal Movement does not hide the fact that there may be disagreements between coalition partners on this issue.
“The partnership project is included in the agreement, in Section 5 of the agreement, the preamble of which states that this is an important issue for one or two coalition partners. This is not necessarily the case for all three. [partnerių] programmatic topics for which partners will do their best to implement them in a reasonable time. Of course, opinions may differ, ”he says.
In response to the proposal of the Freedom Party, which was also supported by the liberals, to review the allocation of money for children to those families whose financial situation is bad, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen assures that the new rulers do not currently plan to do so .
“There are no such plans, what works today is good, surely it will not be reviewed in the near future,” he says.

“It just came to our attention at that time. This is not a priority. The review of pharmaceutical policy – yes, it is included in our initiative”, – says V. Čmilytė-Nielsen in the program “Delfi diena”.
