R. Baškienė was delegated to the working group formed by the Seimas Board by secret ballot.

“The shadow government approached the faction, proposing that the LVŽS faction should not participate in the working group, where it had seen preliminary contradictions and disagreements,” said R. Baškienė.

According to R. Baškienė, the faction decided to withdraw from the working group initiated by the rulers by secret ballot, with 13 members voting in favor and 11 against. She claims to respect this decision of the majority of the group, but points out that she has a different opinion.
“It just came to our knowledge then. I obeyed the group’s decision, although I myself had a different opinion and tried to defend it, but I lacked votes. My arguments were that you need to be present, you need to be heard, you need to present and offer your position in every meeting.
Well, because the group changed its decision, we obeyed the will of the group, ”said the MP, emphasizing that 8 members of the group did not participate in the vote at all.
