Gentville explained what was happening to the vice presidents: Čmilytė – Nielsen does not want to be in Francis’ place

Seimas member Andrius Mazuronis in the show Delphi Day He said the current position was a surprise to him.

“It just came to our knowledge then. Of course, when we got to know the hypothetical theoretical version in the group, before Friday, we discussed all the options and elected internal representatives of our group for all the positions, as well as a representative for the position of Vice President , among others.

Then we started to look and when the president-elect of the Seimas arrived, they asked us who would be our representative, we told her, she listened and left. When I got to the Chamber, I saw my name and realized that apparently the presentation was mine. I admit it was unexpected, but it’s good, ”a Seimas member said on the show.

According to him, it was very unexpected. “It just came to our notice then. I first heard this in a meeting on Friday,” the politician added to the program.

Širinskienė: opposition factions have never been treated like this

It is clear that there is currently no shortage of debate and passion for a wide variety of publications. Seimas spokeswoman Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen does not hide her doubts about A. Norkienė’s candidacy for the post of vice president of Seimas proposed by the “peasants”. Seimas Agnė Širinskienė member on the show Delphi Day says she is surprised by the behavior of those in power.

“The behavior of the rulers is very strange, because the opposition factions, especially the larger ones, have never been treated in this way, indicating who should hold one position or another. I remember very well the same year 2016, when the Conservatives, with practically even fewer people than we have in the Seimas, nominated Degutienė for vice-presidents, and we really had no idea that we should ignore such an opposition proposal if that candidacy was adapted to The opposition, if the opposition saw that that person can adequately represent that position in the leadership of the Seimas, then we, realizing that there is democracy and the opposition has its rights, we agreed.

Now we are in a completely different situation, where, on the one hand, we are told that we will have an opposition leader, so our candidate is undesirable in the direction of Seimas. And what we have seen today, or in the form of records in the social space, is how we begin to point out what we should put in one position or another. It is understood that one or the other candidate will simply not receive support. I think this is not a sign of democracy, “said A. Širinskienė.

Spoke of a backstage arrangement

The policy emphasizes that it is surprised by such behavior of the rulers, because, according to A. Širinskienė, it had never been before.

“If the rulers swore on Friday morning that there will be a completely different political culture, then that political culture is definitely different, it is much worse. (…) I really did not hear that there was such a deal with the essentially political axis of the opposition, the second largest faction, “added the member of Seimas.

“Apparently there really was a backstage deal on voice support.”

Criticism of Čmilyte is scheduled

Member of the Seimas Eugenijus Gentvilas in the show Delphi Day He says that the peasants criticize the Speaker of the Seimas not without reason. According to him, Čmilyte’s criticism is as if it were pre-programmed.

“I want to say that now Agnė is crying and says that now the political culture is worse, because you did it yourself, even for us. The essential thing I want to say is that perhaps the opposition would like to see what happened to the president of the Seimas as happened when the Frenchman proposed the former prime minister Algirdas Butkevičius to the spokesmen of the Seimas and he does not pass.

It may have been Čmilytė’s desire to nominate a candidacy that the ruling majority does not support, but Karbauskis and Širinskienė tell Norkienė to nominate. And here Norkienė is indiscriminate, and all the arrows of criticism fall on the new Speaker of the Seimas, since she cannot reconcile interests ”, considered the interlocutor.
