The political scientist of the University of Mykolas Romeris (MRU), Rima Urbonait the, told the news portal tv3.lt that last year was difficult for the president, others similar are waiting this year. According to the political scientist, this year we will see President G. Nausėda the same as last year, and the situation is unlikely to change. This year, the challenges for the president will remain the same, and his source is none other than G. Nausėda himself.
“It is important to assess the origin of the challenges that the president has faced. Their source is not something external, their source is the president himself. The most important thing that we can identify is that the crises that the president himself faces have been largely caused by the actions of the president himself, these are small things that later turn into very serious things.
The challenges will remain the same, I don’t think we will see a different president. Whatever it is, it will be. We have the type of president that we have elected. It works for pay, so we may or may not like it. Naturally, it performs some functions and it’s not that bad: it tries to cooperate with political parties, it starts things like a regional forum. I think it can contribute to the national agreement on the educational situation ”, said R. Urbonaitė.
MRU associate professor, political scientist Virgis Valentinavičius tv3.lt stated that President G. Nausėda and his advisers should think carefully: how to live this year, how to behave, because the results of the year and a half of the presidency are not visible.
“Seeing that the presidency of a year and a half did not produce any special results, it was not possible to create an indisputable authority. The question of how to continue to seek a role in the political system is completely open. In my opinion, a president as weak as G Nausėda is completely dependent on the ruling majority and the Government, ”said V. Valentinavičius.
Political scientist: Last year there was a lack of leadership
According to the political scientist, G. Nausėda failed to win the public’s trust or be an authority last year, and “some of his mistakes are difficult to understand.”
“No prime minister, no party will send a daughter home. I have no doubt if she could have returned or not. We talked about the moral side and how people look. There were also many people who were able to legally return with their parents because they live alone and They’re registered with their parents, but they didn’t come back. Those things have a lot to do with the president as part of moral authority.
I don’t think last year was easy for him. The president has not run for the office of president of the Supreme Court. It was not only the fault of the president, but also of the Seimas, but there was also a lack of leadership on the part of the president, ”said R. Urbonaitė, and these candidacies were presented to the Seimas on Thursday.
The political scientist thanked the president for his participation in the formation of the government. According to her, the model chosen by the president, since he participated in the formation of the government in November-December, was certainly not optimal.
“Given the situation with the pandemic, time has been very important and now we are seeing the consequences of having a long transition period when there has been a change of government.
Two elements are the formation of moral authority and the challenges associated with it, as well as the performance of some of the direct functions of the president, where challenges were not lacking. This is a certain failure due to the appointment of officials of the Judiciary and the formation of the government, ”said the political scientist.
Compared to Grybauskaitė and praised: “He’s a talking politician”
The political scientist stressed that the president is expected to behave in a way that the public would call referential and exemplary.
“Moral authority is very important for the president, because he does not have so many political levers and instruments of power; it is important for him to be a moral authority that can inspire the confidence of the people or be a support.”
We see challenges and their mistakes. Preside while you pay. We could not say that there is only one mistake after another. There are things that you do carefully enough, but obviously we are more likely to notice mistakes.
I can congratulate G. Nausėda for speaking a little more than Dalia Grybauskaitė. This speech is not always reflective, sometimes the messages are sent incorrectly, but the president must be a speaking politician, ”said the political scientist.
Consider the spine “out of place”
The political scientist V. Valentinavičius has a similar opinion and highlighted the moment of the formation of the Government, when candidates for ministers were presented to the president. According to the political scientist, the president then decided “to show off his spine, but he did it inappropriately and not on time.”
When the advisers, instead of helping the new Government to start work as soon as possible, deduced from the Constitution that it could be done for two weeks, G. Nausėda himself admitted that it had exhausted two weeks. This process delayed the start of the new government for at least a week. Consequently, an attempt to prove a column when it is absent is what it sounds like. It was just a waste of time that it did not throw anything.
In the face of a pandemic, candidate examinations are conducted and government formation is delayed. The ability of the president to choose the right solutions and behavior is, to put it mildly, questionable, “said V. Valentinavičius.
According to him, the worst thing is that last year for the president was not very different from the presidency of the first semester. The president doesn’t see much learning. G. The problem of raising the sediments to the strategic level continues.
“This year, what we remember the most is the non-invitation of three critical journalists to the Presidency, the impotence attitude towards the previous government, when an adequate assessment of S. Skvernel’s asphalt was avoided, A. Veryga’s competencies to managing the crisis, nothing was achieved thanks to J. Narkevičius.
Over the past year, the focus has been more on public relations than content. The fact that in the Presidency the communication department employs more than 10 people, and in national politics only 3 and in fact one of them is also a communicator, it gives its own ”, said V. Valentinavičius.
A hand donates sliceand the other buys limousines for the presidency
According to the political scientist, G. Nausėda often tries to do public relations tricks and gets nothing.
“The president seems like a teenager who thinks too much about what others think of him instead of thinking for himself. When the focus is on external affairs, then there are such “shocks” in popular terms, when the president does a public relations stunt by donating slice doctors apparently in honor of their hard work, which is really hard.
But this trick fails when word gets out that almost the same day, the Presidency purchased a pair of limousines worth more than $ 100,000. and three boxes slugs value – 90 euros.
The overall impression is one of superficiality and inconsistency. It seems that the president did not even wonder why the label “tall and beautiful” was so easily attached, said V. Valentinavičius.
