He criticized the failure

R. Žemaitaitis highlighted human dignity as one of the aspirations of the new party to follow. Justice, equality, living and working for his country: such words were mentioned by the new party leader in his electoral speech, which was heard by party members in parked cars.

“We are not an association of conformists,” emphasized R. Žemaitaitis. He also criticized politicians who were unable to stop the construction of the Astrava nuclear power plant.
He says they have gathered 5,000 members.
One for all and for all for Lithuania: three politicians who have chosen this slogan compare themselves with the heroes of Alexander Dumas.
Artūras Zuokas and Artūras Paulauskas refused to run and asked party members to vote for R.Žemaitaitis. No one doubted that a member of the Seimas became the leader of the Freedom and Justice Party, so voting on cars was just a formality. It is true that four voters did not support R. Zemaitaitis’ candidacy.
Having become the leader of the new political entity, R. Zemaitaitis told the media that he expects 15 seats in the Seimas elections in the fall and half of the victories in one-dimensional positions.
The new party unites 5,000 members: 3,000 followers of A.Zuokas, 500 – Artūras Paulauskas and 1,700 former members of the “Order and Justice” party.
He does not say no to the “peasants”.
R. Zemaitaitis made no secret of his desire to seek a seat in the ruling coalition if he managed to reach the five percent threshold in the election. When asked if he would imagine himself in a joint coalition with “peasants,” R. Zemaitaitis stated that it is too early to speak of it.

“There is no need to close or plan, I will go or not. After all, Saulius Skvernelis and Ramūnas Karbauskis had said that they would never go with the parties under trial, but with” Order and Justice “, and that I was their main political partner” R. Žemaitaitis recalled.
The leader of the new political party says that there are people in the party who could work in the work of culture, education, national security committees. They would see A. Paulauskas as president of the National Defense and Security Committee, and A. Zuokas as Culture.
How do you imagine your voter? The Freedom and Justice Party expects 8 to 10 percent of the vote and is seen in cities and regions. Success is expected in Samogitian counties.
R. Zuokas would consider that the victory in the elections exceeds the limit of five percent and in the Seimas of 10-12 members. He himself plans to participate in a single-member constituency in Vilnius.

A.Paulauskas admitted that he had not yet decided whether to participate in the Seimas elections. “I still don’t know about participating in the Seimas. I’m involved in politics, and the Seimas is not the only place,” he said. Perhaps you would like the position of minister?
“Why not?” , – A. Paulauskas insinuated, admitting that he could take the position of Minister of Justice, if that opportunity existed.
