“The Labor Party is working in the opposition. We respect the will of the electorate, so we will not obstruct the formation of the Government, but, as I want to emphasize, the Labor Party is an opposition party, so we will abstain from voting”, said Vigilijus Jukna, the eldest of the Labor faction.
I. Šimonytė herself analyzed the situation with philosophy.
“We will see that it does not happen. I do not see if I need to create any drama here: cry, cry, everyone votes according to their own beliefs or those of the elders of their group. As it will be, it will be,” he said.
If the first vote fails, I. Šimonytė’s candidacy could be re-run.
A majority of the votes of the members of the Seimas are required to approve the candidacy of the Prime Minister. The Lithuanian Christian Democrats of the National Union have a faction of fifty members in the Seimas, and the Freedom Party has eleven.
The eleven-member Liberal Movement is forced to isolate itself. Their votes would almost have been represented by the “workers” who had received the position of vice-president of the Seimas, of which there are ten plus several other sympathizers of the Mixed group of members of the Seimas. However, Labor members decided to abstain.
