In response to all these speeches, Ms Dobrovolska said that she was pleased with the media’s focus on her, but wanted to publicly respond to the most recurring questions of public concern about her candidacy for the post of Minister of Justice.
“I am not a conventional politician. I know, I do not hide it, nor do I see it as my fault.
Education. I have a law degree. I have completed my master’s degree in law, but have not written or defended my master’s thesis. By combining education, work and family life, I have given priority in the professional field to the representation of socially vulnerable groups: the representation of victims of hate crime cases, the cases of original spelling of personal names. I believe that my skills must serve the people.
They ask me if there will be enough competition.
Competence is determined by the relationship between education and experience. I am pleased that, through my professional experience, I have been directly and unequivocally confronted with the functioning and challenges of the justice system. Working in a ministry is not a lonely thing. I am ready to assemble a team of experienced professionals who will properly implement the objectives of the Government Program and achieve significant changes in the justice system. In my professional experience, it is not only about representation in court, but also about meetings with the OSCE, the Council of Europe, providing parallel reports, leading working groups, both in the drafting of the law on national minorities and in the Roma integration program, ”he said.
He also added that he focused his professional experience on helping people and ensuring the human rights situation in Lithuania, of which he is proud.
“Tattoos. Much discussion was caused by my Ch. Bukowski (German-born American poet –Delphi) tattoo. I am sure that in this context today, when we speak of respect for man and his body and the right to decide for himself, this debate is not appropriate. My Bukowski figures, chess, and Metallica tattoos characterize my hobbies, not my competition.
I believe that my independence from any community, my lack of institutional memory and my sincere belief in the rule of law and human rights as values are my strengths ”.
The nomination was announced Wednesday.
Evelina Dobrovolska, publicly nominated as a justice minister candidate on Wednesday, said she would like to continue to implement the principles of the rule of law, cut red tape and ensure that those serving their sentences do not return to prisons. He made no secret of the fact that he had already met with the country’s advisers and was pleased not to see significant differences in attitudes towards the challenges of the system.
“I am really determined, and when it comes to priorities, the principle of the rule of law is the most relevant these days. I think this direction should be considered, we have cases of the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights – ELTA) and decisions of Lithuanian courts, which clearly indicate a guideline on what relationships should be regulated, what legislation is needed, ”said Eltai E. Dobrovolska.
The candidate nominated by the Freedom Party to head the Ministry of Justice also stressed the importance of also addressing the challenges of the Department of Prisons.
“I think we should change the same focus and purpose, because the problem is not only the number of prisoners, but also the fact that many people who have already served a custodial sentence are returning to that system. As a result, we are not working well to correct their behavior and prepare them for a life in which prisoners can legitimately pursue their goals, ”explained Dobrovolska.
According to her, the goal should be to prevent people who have not committed violent crimes from entering prisons. Furthermore, Ms Dobrovolska emphasized that the justice system must be reviewed and that the sanctions must be adequate.
“We should also talk about the legal charges. We see that in some cases there is not even a dispute between them, so it is likely that they can be transferred from the functions of the courts to notaries, bailiffs and lawyers,” said the parliamentarian.
According to E. Dobrovolska, the judicial system should also distribute functions rationally and reduce bureaucracy. “My focus and objective is that the law is at the service of the people and that the entire legal system is clear, transparent and accessible to the public,” emphasized the candidate for the position of Minister of Justice.
Prisons are not an end in themselves
Speaking of the vision of reorganizing prisons, Ms Dobrovolska emphasized that “prisons are not an end in themselves and we are not talking about buildings.”
“The subject of the Department of Prisons must be seen in a systematic way, expanding the alternatives to punishment, probation and how to ensure that a person does not return to prison,” said Dobrovolska.
He had met with the presidential team
E. Dobrovolska did not hide the fact that he had already met with the advisers of President Gitan Nausea.
“We have discussed the challenges and possible solutions in the field of justice. What makes me very happy is that I have not seen any fundamental discrepancies in approach to problems and solutions. We agree that the legislation must be of high quality and the citizens and the Presidency must be involved in it, not in the last stage, “said Eltai, the candidate for minister.
