Degutienė named what will be the hardest in the new Seimas: it’s the most emotionally black job

Proposes to modify the statute

The politician hopes that more members of the Seimas will not contract coronavirus and can start working successfully.

“I believe that the oath to Seimas members during the pandemic will remain for life, as well as for all of us, because the oath procedure this year is quite different from what it was for me six times, so it will be memorable and will do nothing – life dictated such a situation.

Let’s hope that none of the new members of the Seimas get sick and can start working creatively in Parliament. The first step in such a situation, I believe, should be to urgently change the statute and allow remote work, ”says I. Degutienė.

Evaluated the candidacy of Čmilytė-Nielsen

When asked how he values ​​the candidacy of Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen for the position of Spokesperson of the Seimas, the politician assured that she could only comment positively on the Spokesperson of the Liberal Movement.

“I can only answer positively, because she has the human qualities that the Speaker of the Seimas needs, which is tolerance, communicability, the ability to find the best solution, she knows how to concentrate, to look for a common denominator. She has these qualities, Victoria has been a chess champion for many years, so she did not make urgent and important decisions, as Speaker of the Seimas she will not make them either. I could also mention that Victoria is not in the Seimas for the first time, she has political experience, she is the president of the party, personality and ideal politician to occupy the position of Spokesperson of the Seimas ”, says I. Degutienė.

According to her, the most difficult part of the presidency is acting decisively in a year of futile and emotional discussions that yield nothing. According to I. Degutienė, these episodes occurred very frequently.

“Probably the hardest part is controlling the chaos through unsubstantiated speeches, intrusive emotions when the opposition collies the ruling majority or, individually, any member of the Seimas. Then it is necessary to determine when he presides, to stop those useless discussions ”, says I. Degutienė.

When asked if there could be any surprise in the election of the president of the Seimas, the politician said it was unlikely.

“For some reason, I think that today there should be no intrigues in the election of the Speaker of the Seimas. There may be some abstentions, but still he will get more votes than there are in the coalition,” said the politician.

Degutienė: women have far fewer ambitions than male MPs

When asked about the trio of Aušrinė Armonaitė, Ingrida Šimonytė and V. Čmilytė-Nielsen, I. Degutienė asserted that women politicians have less empty ambitions than men in the Seimas.

“You know, I want to deny the beginning of your question a bit about women’s ambitions. Women have far fewer empty ambitions than male MPs, and I’m glad that these women are strong, principled, but not empty-minded. I don’t think that prevents them from working together.

There may be different coups of political action in your communication, but this is natural, because we are all individuals, we all have a common goal, but all will also defend their family, their faction, “in the program. Delphi Day considered by I. Degutienė.

The darkest work awaits

It’s no secret that disagreements about posts often arise.

“In no term has there been a frictionless division of charges. There’s always that friction of working behind the scenes until we finally agree on everything, not on one position. I especially liked the formation of the Government, since I. Šimonytė, A. Armonaitė, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen said that the most important thing is to look at the people, regardless of position or party. Perhaps after nominating two or three candidates for one position or another, you should elect the best of the three parties within the quota of the regulations, then you should see which ministry will be assigned to one or the other.

Of course, here is the dirtiest job emotionally, but it will be completed, the best candidates will be found who will be able to carry out the Government program under the leadership of I. Šimonyte. Delphi Day considered by I. Degutienė.
