The Prime Minister admits that the changes in alcohol control implemented by the Lithuanian Union of Peasants and Greens (LVŽS) during the last legislature had some illogic, but were supposedly corrected while still under the leadership of the peasants.

“The illogical ones that I admit were in regards to the summer period, the outdoor cafes, the beach cafes, they were corrected in the last quarter, and now it seems to me that the law itself is working effectively. The change of situation with consumption and side effects, are various psychoses and diseases. Why damage what really works, with whom the society has come to terms and there is no problem, ”S. Skvernelis told News Radio on Friday.

The farmer believes that the current restrictions, when it is no longer possible to buy alcohol after 3 p.m. on Sunday, foster a culture of consumption, because in that case people simply choose to go to a bar or restaurant where the risk of alcohol overdose. reduced.

“It just came to our notice then. The quarantine is released. It would be you walking at 3:07 pm to the bar and having a cultural drink there. It should be just what liberals and conservatives have said that we need to promote a culture of consumerism. Alcohol. This is what we promote in cafes, restaurants, bars where you can’t get drunk like a pig, roll over and the like. And that domestic alcoholism happens at home. We may not promote domestic alcoholism with the possibility of buying alcohol when that time is limited, “said S. Skvernelis.
