Some of them, from the land sold.
“Salary, inheritance, property is also, let’s say, the value not only of money, but also the value of land, the value of a house. That value, often as, say, land, does not correspond to the real market value, but it is stated that we did not really reduce that price, “said the Minister of Transport.
Salary, inheritance, property is also, let’s say, the value not only of money, but also the value of land, the value of the house.
J.Narkevičius repeated that an attempt was made to compromise him, which was allegedly done at a non-random time. He mentioned that an investigation is currently being carried out into the activities of the Lithuanian Highway Administration and its reorganization.

The statements are not considered
Prime Minister S.Skvernelis assured that he did not evaluate the history of J.Narkevičius’s property in any way. The State Tax Inspectorate is said to be verifying this, and will comment.

I hope, as I have said many times, the results of law enforcement.
When asked if the Minister of Transport should not publicly corroborate the origin of his property, S. Skvernelis said:

R.Karbauskis does not believe

R. Karbauskis explained that he sees that the person is accused first.
“As in the first part, when the man was accused of allegedly repairing something illegally, there was something else. After that, it became clear that the relationships of those who falsified the situation are not with Lithuania or with countries that are not friendly to us. It’s me, I don’t appreciate anything in this place anymore. When the LRT survey is published, I already understand that there is an order that is being followed, “said the leader of the” peasants “in the Seimas.
According to R.Karbauskis, neither politicians nor journalists have condemned J.Narkevičius.
“If there are violations, the conclusions of the institutions will be negative. So far, I have not heard any negative conclusions from any institution against them. This is also the case in this situation, I think, and now it is another generation to cast a shadow. And it will end at the same time that it ended all the time, that we had to admit that those shadows are wrong, “R. Karbauskis is convinced.
So far, I have not heard any negative conclusions from any institution against him.
I can’t work for long
Conservative Gabrielius Landsbergis, the leader of the opposition Seimas, said he no longer knew if he could be more surprised each week commenting on new stories that haunt the Minister of Transport.

“One thing is obvious, it is clear that the minister is not telling the truth. It is delayed in the facts, it does not coincide with its history with what is being discussed in the media. But the evaluation of his ability to continue working does not change: he has not been able to maintain this position for a long time, “he said.
The only question that remains for Mr. Landberg is to what extent this Government could fall and the general perception of transparency.
“It is possible to build roads, repair houses, have lunch for money from the state; everything is adequate in this state.” And my only pity is probably that, however, we thought that we were not very high in the perception of corruption, in general in the evaluation of transparency as a state compared to western states. But, it turns out that there was still room to fall, and yet, four years ago we have lost precisely that transparency and what we will have to try to recover in some way in the future, ”said the leader of the Seimas opposition.
Roads can be built, houses can be repaired, lunch can be eaten for money from the state: everything is adequate in this state.
