However, Algirdas Sysas, the largest of the opposition faction of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) in the Seimas, helped to sign the document, so an attempt will be made to support those who do not want this project.
Mazuronis: I think the rulers will break
Andrius Mazuronis, a representative of the opposition faction of the Labor Party in the Seimas, claimed that he had not yet had access to the registered document, but that he already had a strong position after the draft of the draft was made public.
“It just came to our attention then. Due to our party advice, various working groups discussed what was leaked. The lawyers also looked closely, taking a position such that, as opposition leader Saulius Skvernelis says, this is the first step towards legalizing marriages, ”said A. Mazuronis.
The parliamentarian assured that he sees the problem of single people who live together.
“In fact, it is now very common to live together without being married, raise children and accumulate wealth. However, in our opinion, this law defines that association too broadly, ”said Seimas member A. Mazuronis.

Politicians have already predicted that this proposal could fragment those in power.
“It just came to our notice then. The Social Democrats will vote in favor, for the most part. The conservative side, I think, will certainly not vote for it. About 10 to 15 people, I imagine. It will split, it should be on the brink (vote, aut. P.) “, Delphi said A. Mazuronis, representative of the Labor Party.
Saudargas: this would change the concept of family in Lithuania
Paulius Saudargas, a representative of the ruling National Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD), made his arguments on Facebook about why he would not support the registered Association Law.
“We, who consider that the concept of family is based on the natural complementarity of gender and family, must consider only those forms of coexistence in which the child can have a father and a mother (even if they do not live together), do not support the establishment of an institute of association in Lithuania. Legalization would bring a new unconstitutional basis for the formation of the family in Lithuanian law, “wrote P. Saudargas.
He said that “a gender-neutral association would give same-sex couples a publicly recognized status in the state.”
“In other words, a society is a substitute for marriage, allowing, by circumventing the Constitution, homosexual couples achieve the same legal consequences as spouses: acquiring the legal status of a family,” said the politician.

According to him, this law “would change the valid concept of family in Lithuania”.
“The legal concept of family would abandon the now essential principle of the family: gender difference and complementarity. Abandoning this principle would also mean abandoning the most important objective of the family: guaranteeing the best environment for children to be born and grow up”, said P. Saudargas.
The deputy wrote that legalizing the Association would be the first step to equate same-sex relationships with marriage between a man and a woman. And the practice of other countries shows that once any form of association is legalized in the country, it is further expanded on the grounds that it is not possible to discriminate between different families.
“Therefore, after the adoption of the first political step – the legalization of the couple, the legal system of legal procedures continues to be forced to gradually equate the couple with the marriage.” After legalizing single-sex families, the state can no longer prioritize the child’s interest in having a father and a mother when deciding on issues of adoption and reproductive services, as this is considered discrimination based on sexual orientation, ”he wrote a representative. by TS-LKD.
According to him, in the long run it will return to the issue of the adoption of children in societies of homosexual couples.
“We do not support the adoption of children in homosexual families, because in this way the right of the child to have a father and a mother is violated, and the wishes of adults are elevated above the best interests of the child. (…) In general, in countries where same-sex marriages and adoptions are possible, the terms ‘mother’ and ‘father’ are being erased from both public culture and education, passing the gender term ‘single parent’ neutral, ‘wrote TS LKD representative P. Saudargas.
Savickas: We have different opinions in the group.
Lukas Savickas, representative of the largest faction of the opposition Lithuanian Peasants and Greens Union (LVŽS), stated that the faction would still consider this registered association bill. The politician said that colleagues do not have consensus.
“I am of the opinion that when it comes to human rights issues, a legal solution must be found. And I am open to looking for appropriate ways. First we have to familiarize ourselves with the project and make a decision on how to move forward”, said L. Savickas.
“As already described in public here, we have several discussions in the group. (…) I don’t even know if there will be a joint decision of the group, we have different opinions, maybe their proportions are not the same, but we have different opinions.
I think we will have to consult, I understand that members of the group who have separate opinions will vote this way. And what will they be, the question is a bit early, because unlike the project developers, who get up with that project in the morning and go to bed at night for half a year, and for at least 5 minutes I have the right to Start to read and form an opinion. But I don’t really have a categorical opinion, regardless of what is written there, that I do not agree, “said a representative from LVŽS.

The deputy of Seimas L. Savickas assured that the votes of the representatives of the TS-LKD or of the parties of the Liberal Movement who did not want to vote for the Law of Partnerships would be compensated by the Social Democrats who work in the opposition.
“I understand that the calculation is still to amortize that flank with the votes of the Christian Democrats. I understand that political logic and calculation are based on such a construction. And in my opinion, those forces are quite tough, it is a possible multiplication of votes, but we do not know if there are no doubts in other ranks of the coalition parties. I understand that perhaps there is not necessarily a 100 percent consensus in the Liberal Movement, it seems that the Freedom Groups are. It is one or the other vote that can determine if a project can be presented. Delphi L. Savickas, a representative of LVŽS at the Seimas, said on Friday.
He was also surprised that this bill is being given so much force in the face of a pandemic.
