After the Seimas elections LSDDP hoped to have a strong factionBut hopes were not fulfilled, and only three party representatives entered the Seimas through single-member electoral districts: former Agriculture Minister Andrius Palionis, former Zigmantas Balčytis MEP, and Jonas Pinskus, who replaced the party.
LSDDP will hold the congress, replace the president
The president of LSDDP, Gediminas Kirkilas, affirmed that the party will draw conclusions on the results of the Seimas elections during the congress.
“We are going to draw conclusions at the congress <...>. We have done an analysis of this type, there are several conclusions: we will need to expand the department even more, we still do not have it in all districts. 15 minutes commented.
The congress, according to the politician, will take place when the situation improves with COVID-19 and the platoon is allowed.
“It will depend on the situation when at least a few hundred will be allowed to gather. I imagine it will be April or May. And before that, department meetings will be held,” taught G. Kirkilas.
LSDDP also plans to elect a new president during the convention.
“We will resolve the issue of a leader, we will resolve changes in the program, the statute,” said G. Kirkilas.
Is waiting for the end of G. Pakuckas
He himself assured that he would cease to hold the position of president.
“I said I will shoot, yes. <...> I think there are younger people who can run for office, ”said G. Kirkilas, emphasizing that the chairman of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party, Gintautas Paluckas, who did not resign after the Seimas elections, would not act as another left-wing force. . , although this was requested by some friends.

“Every normal European leader who has lost an election must stand down, there is no language,” he said.
And who could become his successor, G. Kirkilas has not yet predicted: “Much can. I won’t predict it yet. “
Politicians who parted ways with the Social Democratic Party a few years ago have not yet given up hope of ever getting back on track, but that, according to Kirkilas, will depend on who leads the Social Democratic Party.
“The union of the left is always on the agenda. First, they will solve their internal problems, and then we will see what the new leader will be like while he thinks about it.
So far, I believe that G. Paluck is the one who has divided the left forces in general. If the leader changes, there will be another situation ”, considered G. Kirkilas.
The union of the left is always on the agenda.
By the way, G. Paluckas is categorically opposed to the unification of social democratic forces.
He is considering what to offer to Vilnius mayors
The Order and Justice Party, which had been in operation for several years, collapsed.
He was replaced by Libertad y Justicia, who participated in the Seimas elections for the first time.
After the elections, the Seimas was expected to have at least one faction, that is, seven party representatives, but “burned” only the party president, Remigijus Žemaitaitis.
The voters of the one-member constituency of Kelmė-Šilalė believed it.
“Freedom and Justice”, according to the leader, is already preparing for the next municipal elections.
“We have set goals for us to have as many mayors as we have now, even a little more, and of course, the elections for the mayor of Vilnius are approaching. There will be, as in all municipalities, who could be a candidate for mayor of Vilnius, preparing the electoral program, ”said R. Žemaitaitis.
When asked if the Artūras Zuokas party will traditionally run for mayor of the capital, R. Žemaitaitis replied that it is not necessary.
Which is not one of those you would like.
“It just came to our attention then. He says that if we find someone who can transport more than I can transport, let him drive, ”said the party attendant.
I would like to have a faction as early as March.
R.Žemaitaitis, who works in a mixed group of Seimas members, assured that it is not very fun for one in the Seimas, it is difficult to achieve tangible results.
Therefore, according to him, it is worth joining the faction of the representatives of the Mixed members group of Seimas.
It could even have more than seven members.

“There are people who understand that this faction is necessary and necessary because [valdantieji] it does not include topics on the agenda under the guise of being a Mixed Group. Harassment is taking place, “said R. Žemaitaitis.
According to him, the new faction would oppose the rulers and actively seek out the opposition factions to finally agree on an opposition leader.
“The big meeting is, and I think I hope in March <...> she could be born ”, waited R. Žemaitaitis.
Encourage LLRA-KŠS to change
About current activities and future plans 15 minutes He also wanted to speak to LLRA-KŠS leader Valdemar Tomaševskis, but they could not be reached.
Politician after the unsuccessful Seimas elections promised to resign as party chairman, although it has not yet done so.
And although this time LLRA-KŠS did not exceed 5 percent. cartels, and in the Seimas – only three of their representatives, the associate professor of the University Mykolas Romeris, the political scientist V. Valentinavičius did not rule out the party.
Now is the time to renew and change the leader.
Furthermore, in the opinion of the political scientist, the LLRA-KŠS did not enter the Seimas not because of the agitation of the publicist Andrius Tapinas not to vote for this force, and due to the changed electorate.
I would like to believe that the rejuvenated Polish elector is tired of the V. Tomashevsky clique.
“I would like to believe that the rejuvenated Polish elector is tired of the V. Tomashevsky clique, tired of being ashamed of his representatives in the Seimas”, 15 minutes commented V. Valentinavičius.
“Now there is an opportunity to change the leader, an opportunity to abandon, or at least move away from, the old protary line, which was promoted by V. Tomaševskis, and enter the water of more modern politics.
I associate the LLRA-KŠS perspective with a fundamental renewal of leadership and the ideological platform, ”he said.
He believes that Liberty and Justice must close
And for the other two parties – the Labor of the Social Democrats and “Freedom and Justice” – V.Valentinavičius predicted the end.
According to him, “Freedom and Justice” “deservedly found” is associated with the “ordered people” and the ousted President Rolandas Paksas.
“At one time, the party had a strong structure, strong divisions in the districts, but the adventurous leadership – first of all R. Paksas, but also his successors – with opportunistic policies and R. Paksas’s retaliation program for the trial. politician got nowhere.
I think the most constructive thing this force can do is move closer and farther away. I don’t see the opportunity to revive it in any way, “assured V. Valentinavičius.

He was particularly critical of LSDDP activities, arguing that this force, which did not represent socially vulnerable groups but large companies, deserved to disappear.
LSDDP “deserves historic punishment”
“The actors who actually divided the party only to remain in the Seimas and hold positions in the government deserved a historic punishment: to disappear as a party,” said V. Valentinavičius.
According to him, the “social workers” have no prospects, they have to go for a walk.
Individual members of this group will migrate quietly and calmly through the surrounding roads.
“Individual members of this party will quietly and calmly migrate to G. Palucko’s party on the surrounding roads, which will probably be for G. Paluck, or for the ‘peasants’ for a long time,” predicted the political scientist.
When asked if there is a possibility that the United Social Democratic Party will ever recover, V. Valentinavičius was skeptical of such a possibility.
“G. Kirkilas and Juozas Bernatonis are the only optimists on this issue (G. Kirkilas Deputy LSDDP – 15min). They are forced optimists in that sense, because I suspect that they will not be accepted by any party unless they are “peasants,” he said.
The next general elections of municipal councils are scheduled for spring 2023 and the elections to the Seimas in October 2024.
