The Liberal Movement in a circulated report recalls that 3 of the 13 Liberal Movement parliamentarians who work in the Seimas received positive tests for Covid-19 last week. The remaining 10 members of the faction tested negative. According to the Liberal Movement, this became a motive for the representatives of the Provisional Government and the Lithuanian Union of Peasants and Greens (LVŽS) in the Seimas to attack both the Liberal Movement and the entire new majority.
“Now around 2 thousand new infections are detected in Lithuania every day. The real number is probably even higher, as between 12 and 15 thousand are analyzed per day. If we increase the tests, we would also see other numbers. Hospitals are almost gone. they have vacancies for severe Covid-19 patients. Doctors are already tired and are also getting massively infected, “says Eugenijus Gentvilas, the largest of the Liberal Movement faction, in the report.
However, the major of the Liberal Movement emphasizes that the situation has not arisen even for the outgoing minister A. Veryga.
“It is much more important for him and his fellow party members to press charges against the new majority for alleged bad decisions in Seimas. We still have to look for such cynical behavior,” surprising E. Gentvilas.
He emphasizes that now both Mr. Veryga and the rest of the interim government should work tirelessly to resolve at least some of the chaos caused by their negligence and irresponsible behavior in both the spring and summer. And especially with the start of the second wave.
“Inopportune decisions to avoid mass shows, total disregard for the signals sent out by the medical community, utter negligence during the summer holidays are just a few highlights of why our healthcare system is on the verge of ‘blacking out’ today. And the minister at that moment finds the courage to educate others. He is not wasting his strength there, LVŽS. It is better to use the last few weeks of power that you have left so as not to go down in history as the worst politicians in Europe to deal with the Covid-19. Or more, “says E. Gentvilas.
He recalls that the liberals began to speak with proposals about the remote work of the Seimas during the first days of the spring quarantine and approved the decision of the then president of the Seimas Viktoras Francis on March 31. initiative to adjust the Statute of the Seimas. But then the peasants resisted as best they could.
The press release also draws attention to the fact that while COVID-19 was ill with members of the LVŽS faction and employees of the Seimas Chancellery, A. Veryga did not seem to be a sufficient reason to demand the closure of the Seimas.
“I understand that now it is politically beneficial for them to direct their attention to the new government when they wash their uniforms. It is also very useful to demand the closure of the Seimas, thus trying to paralyze the start of the work of the new government. But this time it will not burn. There are measures to protect themselves And Minister A. Veryga, demanding the closure of the Seimas, apparently has forgotten that the Government is subordinate to the Seimas, and not the other way around, ”emphasized E. Gentvilas.
