According to the president of the Seimas Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, the protest simply seeks to strengthen the determination of her supporters to support A. Jakubauskas.

“It is a disappointing situation when trust in a very important institution has fluctuated, largely due to the actions of its director. I have repeatedly mentioned that the working group created by the Seimas Board has delved into the situation in great detail. , has communicated with all the parties to the conflict and has come to the conclusion that it does not see any way to guarantee the proper functioning of the center. Today, the Seimas will decide on that, “the president of Seimas told reporters at the Seimas on Thursday.

In an interview with BNS on Monday, President Gitan Nauseda said he saw threats that the LGGRTC could be attached to some other structure.

For his part, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen stated that he did not see such signs.

“I do not see such signs. (…) I would not like to comment on the President’s statement, apparently he could explain what he meant,” said the Spokesperson for Seimas.

Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė urged protesters to be more restrained

Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė, the elder of the ruling Union of the Lithuanian Christian Homeland-Democratic Union (TS-LKD), said the ongoing protest, during which sirens were heard in Seimas itself, only strengthened her opinion to support A. Dismissal of Jakubauskas.

“It is fine to express a position, but those measures seem exaggerated and really unnecessary. It is not for work or health. I call on the minds of the protesters to be more moderate in expressing our position, which we have all heard. members of the Seimas will decide ”, said the parliamentarian.

According to her, the situation is surprising for LGGRTC.

“Apparently, people are very tired from the pandemic, there is an increase in heat. The evaluations have become uncompromising, only in black and white.

A. Jakubauskas, according to her, simply does not fulfill his duties.

“There were attempts to speak, to give advice, they were not listened to,” emphasized the Seimas member.

When asked if the head of the country’s fears about the connection of the LGGRTC center with other structures are justified, R. Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė replied that he hoped the center would return to its normal work.

Skvernelis: the reproaches to Jakubauskas are insignificant

At the time, opposition leader Saulius Skvernelis claimed that the accusations against A. Jakubauskas were “null and void”.

“We certainly have more than one example where there are various conflicts between part of the employee and the employer, but there are completely different and civilized ways instead of being fired after a few months of work. The essential thing is how the center sees its activities in the future ”, emphasized S. Skvernelis.

He stated that the workers and peasants would not participate in the vote on the dismissal of A. Jakubauskas.

“It just came to our attention then. Yes, mistakes have been made, but let’s understand – a person has come to an institution that has not changed for decades, (…) the manager has taken the steps that need to be taken to keep the institution modern, orderly, so that employees can reveal their talents freely, without hindrance. ”, said the opposition leader.

The best solution, according to S. Skvernel, would be the application and mediation of psychological research.
