“Because it is a television broadcast, we do not need a separate permit, based on our data.
After receiving the first call, the police officers headed to the Kaunas Žalgiris Arena, and trusted employees explained that there was a live TV broadcast, awards were being filmed, and only pre-registered people with their faces and noses covered were admitted to the event.
They will undergo tests at the entrance and unauthorized persons will not be admitted.
The officials also communicated with the organizers responsible for the event, explaining the same circumstances and that they would meet all the requirements, ”commented a representative of the Police Department.
But, he said, the participants did not meet the quarantine requirements.
“As we will see later, when the photos and videos appeared in the public space, not all the participants really met the requirements, at least in our opinion,” said R. Matonis.
According to him, it will also be clarified whether all the prize participants who went to Kaunas from other parts of Lithuania legally crossed the boundaries of the municipalities: “The clarification of the circumstances will also determine whether the people who were in Kaunas had the right to go and to be there “.
By clarifying the circumstances, it will also be determined whether the people who were in Kaunas had the right to go and be there.
When asked if participating in a television broadcast is a justifiable reason to pass a police check, Matonis considered it to be.
“It just came to our knowledge then. To work, you are allowed to go to work. Probably the performers who go to a concert somewhere, maybe it can be treated that it’s their job and they can go to work,” he said.
On the other hand, the MAMA awards were not limited to performers, according to the representative.
“We see in the public images that there were actually a lot more people than just the artists. Questions arise as to whether those other people could have been there, ”said R. Matonis.
He claimed that the Kaunas police received around 30 reports of possible rapes during the MAMA awards.
On Saturday, at the Žalgiris Arena, the MAMA awards were held without spectators, their organizers announced that all participants had been tested for COVID-19, but there was outrage in the public sphere that the quarantine rules were not followed, no masks were used. and there were no safe distances.
