I will consider it on Friday

A.Guoga participated in these Seimas elections with the Labor Party. Its electoral politician has been ranked first on the list, but that does not necessarily mean that Guoga will represent the people in parliament.

Tuesday morning 15 minutes He stated that he had not yet decided whether to take the oath in Lithuania on Friday and start working at the Seimas. “It just came to our attention then. There is still time to consider before Friday.” 15 minutes admitted A.Guoga.

A little later on Facebook, he wrote that he was not afraid of any job, he was determined to do a lot of work for Lithuania, so he did not hesitate to renounce Australian citizenship, because only then could he participate in the Seimas elections.

“There must be the best in the Seimas. Therefore, I ask the question: Will I be more useful to the Lithuanian people when I work for the people? Perhaps there are better ones who should be given up? That is what I am thinking, I’m considering it. And everyone who walks into the Seimas should think about it. I never needed a chair or a warm place. Not here for me. I need to be where I can provide the most benefit and create the most value.

I also want your advice. Write, say your opinion with courage. Maybe there are better ones for me? Maybe I need to give up my seat? We still have some time. I will make a decision on Friday, “wrote a former MEP, former president of the Liberal Movement, now a” worker “.

The first session of the new Seimas will take place on Friday, in which elected parliamentarians will be sworn in. If A.Guoga, however, decides not to be a member of the Seimas, Artūras Skardžius should replace him according to the list.

And he would do it himself

The leader of the labor party V. Uspaskich 15 minutes He said that A. Guoga understood and did not condemn such deliberations, although he did not speak to a party colleague about it.

“A living person has to consider his options, etc. If a person had expected us to participate in a ruling majority somewhere, he might become more aware of himself and everything else, and sitting in opposition, he realizes that he will be less able to realize himself.As I told all the members of my party, if I were not a Member of the European Parliament, if I had headed the list myself, I still would not have taken a seat if we had remained in the opposition.

I really value myself, I am an active person, why should I sit down? I sat in the Seimas, I know that job, I know the possibilities of what can be done in opposition, I can really use myself, perform it more effectively. Therefore, I immediately told everyone that I would not be a member of the Seimas if the party faction remained in the opposition, ”said the chairman of the Labor Party.

As I said, if I were not a Member of the European Parliament, if I had maintained the list myself, I would not have taken a mandate yet if we remained in the opposition.

According to him, running for office, winning a term, but not working at the Seimas is not a hoax on voters.

“I understand perfectly, his way of life, he is involved in a whole world where there are active points and everything else. I fully understand that he thinks yes, it is natural. If he had been elected in a single-member constituency, one could still say, and here …

16 thousand from 110 thousand. voters this is not a high ranking. And another thing: in the party structure, his personal contribution, such as attracting pro-party voters, ranks sixth, and the party was ranked eleventh in his constituency. So it’s a good result, sixth place is in the top ten, but it’s not first or second, ”said V. Uspaskich.

The leader of “Darbiečių” assured that he would allow A.Guoga to decide for himself and certainly would not condemn him no matter what he chose. It is said to be reprehensible when a member of the faction leaves the faction in Seimas himself and takes a mandate, as V. Uspaskich says, confirming that his companions were to sign a promise not to.

“And when you want to transfer the mandate to the closest member of the party, what is condemned here? Absolutely not. For example, I resigned from the European Parliament in 2012, there were two more people after me, we agreed, they resigned and Justina Vitkauskaitė became one of my assistants. And what to condemn here? ”, Taught V. Uspaskich.

The Labor Party won ten seats in the Seimas elections: nine in a multi-member constituency and one in a single-member constituency, Telinas won by Valentinas Bukauskas.
