“After consulting with lawyers, it was quite clear that this is not the competence of the Ethics and Procedures Commission. Therefore, as chairman of the commission, I asked the Attorney General to investigate and respond. If such suspicion is confirmed and established a forgery, a pre-trial investigation will be initiated. If there are no suspicions of forgery of signatures, whether to examine the complaint from the Seimas Spokesperson, the Seimas Ethics and Procedures Committee for the next term will decide. Our term is coming to an end, We no longer have time to examine this issue, ”A. Matulas told Elta after the last session of the Seimas Ethics and Procedures Commission of this period.

The president of the Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis addressed the Ethics and Procedures Commission of the Seimas with a request to evaluate the behavior of parliamentarians who tried to initiate unscheduled sessions of the Seimas on November 4 of this year, ELTA recalls.

The speech of the president of the Seimas indicates that the 3 of November. The proposal of the members of the Seimas to convene two unforeseen sessions of the Seimas reached the Secretariat of the President of the Seimas. The Seimas Spokesperson points out that although the proposal was signed by 47 Seimas members, after becoming familiar with the collected signature sheets, it was noted that the proposal was not signed by 45 Seimas members, but only by 45, because 2 signatures Seimas members were repeated on different signature sheets.

According to the president of the Seimas, such conduct of the parliamentarians, when a potentially falsified document is presented to the Board of the Seimas, discredits the entire Seimas and should be incompatible with the Code of Conduct for State Politicians.

By the way, the initiative to convene an unforeseen plenary session of the Seimas was not carried out, as the Seimas decided to go to the Constitutional Court (CC) in a regular session this week on possible violations during the Seimas elections.
