Furthermore, the president’s senior adviser, Asta Skaisgirytė, suggests that, in her congratulations on the International Day of Families, G. Nausėda did not speak out against the Law of Alliances. According to the counselor, the president, referring to the use of his powers to maintain the family as the basis of society and the state, probably spoke on the subject of marriage.
“The president draws a line on how he sees the issues of cohabitation of persons of one sex and here the president says very clearly that he draws attention to article 38 of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, which talks about the family, that the family is the basis of society and the state, by the free consent of a man and a woman … And the president says that this article of the Constitution should not be violated, ”A. Skaisgirytė told News Radio.
“If it were an attempt to say that marriage is not just a consensus between a man and a woman, it could probably be treated as a violation of the Constitution,” he emphasized.
According to A. Skaisgirytė, there are still gaps in Lithuania in the regulation of same-sex couples.
“It must be said that the issue of association in Lithuania is not fully regulated and there is a certain gap, especially if we talk about same-sex couples. There are people like that, they live together, but their civil rights are not defined in any way. At the moment, the President says that same-sex coexistence issues should also be regulated, ”said the advisor, noting that it is difficult for the Presidency to talk about this issue yet, like the draft of the Companies Law itself. is it availabe.
“So far, we do not have specific bills, they are being done somewhere, but they are not registered in the Seimas. We still don’t have a reference text that we can comment on in any way, “the adviser said.
The president not only addressed the participants of the “march”
At the same time, A. Skaisgirytė pointed out that the decision critically evaluated by political critics to broadcast the greeting of the president during the “Great March in Defense of the Family” was not limited to the participants and organizers of this event.
“The president did not specifically address the organizers of the march, but all Lithuanian families. This is a certain difference,” said A. Skaisgirytė.
“The president congratulated all Lithuanian families on the International Family Day (…),” he emphasized.
It does not take into account the fact that a “prophetic” MEP spoke about the “march”
The President’s Advisor did not mention the fact that after the congratulatory speeches delivered by President G. Nausėda during the event, the participants of the “march” were led by Bernhard Zimniokas, Member of the European Parliament of the radical right-wing party ” Alternative to Germany “(ADF). The criticism that G. Nausėda’s speech was broadcast at the same event, where the MEP, a member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s circle of friends, spoke in public space, is unfounded, according to the Presidency.
“I would suggest not giving too much prominence to a particular person who has expressed his position. Is he the only one who belongs to Putin’s circle of friends?
“It just came to our attention then. It seems to me that you are exaggerating this appeal,” he added.
