According to the editor-in-chief of the portal 15min.lt Vaidotas Beniušis, a strong discussion arose in response to Ž. The words spoken in the pavilion’s conversation with the suitors are natural.
“It is natural that the appearance of secretly recorded conversations, which contain contradictory speeches by politicians who hold such high positions in the Seimas, provoke controversy,” V. Beniušis said on Thursday on the “News of the day” program.
He pointed out that there are three issues in this situation that can be discussed: an assessment of the politician’s own rhetoric, the geopolitical context, and the new Deep Fake technologies used by provocateurs.
“If the Seimas URK spokesman, speaking with a representative of a foreign country or in the program, says that when solving some foreign problems, they do not pay attention to the president, it should provoke discussions.” It is written in the Constitution that the President decides on the main foreign policy issues of the state ”, said the head of 15min.lt. editor.
V. Beniušis also commented on the speeches, supposedly Ž. The provocations of the pavilion should not be discussed at all.
“It should be a lesson and it is quite natural that those questions arise: how much did this member of Seimas save, why did he not speak a thing and whether or not it caused harm. For me, they are natural questions to ask,” said the journalist.
Too much, according to him, in similar cases is to look at what Russia will think.
“I don’t think we should always evaluate our actions through a single prism, and what Russia will think: whether it is useful for it or not.” Sometimes we define our state and our actions too much through Russia, I don’t think it’s worth it, “added V. Beniušis.
Masiulis: Pavilionis could speak more cautiously, but he only has his own opinion
In turn, appreciating the scandal, the conservative Kęstutis Masiulis affirmed that his colleague Ž. The pavilion was able to speak more cautiously. However, he said, all politicians can have an opinion.
“A former diplomat could speak more cautiously, (…) but a politician can have an opinion on another policy of any kind, and here he can no longer be accused of having that opinion. Well, you have to. Here is a democratic state, he has that opinion about him and everything, ”said K. Masiulis on the program.
The politician noted that the video posted by the Kremlin provocateurs has been cut and may be distorted.
“I really think that, in general, it is not good, because the best thing for the institutions is to have harmony, consensus and unanimity on foreign policy issues,” Masiulis also acknowledged.

However, he stressed that there may be political disagreements.
“There may be disagreements, there may be different points of view. There is a real opinion in our faction that this may be the case,” said the Seimas member.
Surprise: such statements undermine the prestige of the country’s foreign policy
Opinion on Ž. Giedrius Surplys, Foreign Minister of the shadow peasant government and a member of the CEC, also spoke on the pavilion talk show.
“For several months now, we have been observing a rather disrespectful Ž. Pavilionis’s response on the role of the President of the Republic of Lithuania in foreign policy, which is a constitutional duty of the president.
We believe that these statements, which sound biased and constant, are beginning to harm Lithuanian foreign policy, which has always been respected, ”said G. Surplys.
According to him, politicians must respect the head of the country.
Giedrius is surprised
“You may disagree, you may have different opinions, including about the roles that each of us assumes in foreign policy, but you must respect the Constitution, not speak publicly and not teach the President of Lithuania how to exercise foreign policy or not. . not at all, “G. noted with surprise that such a problem does not currently exist with other high-ranking politicians.
The pavilion is proud to be the target of the Kremlin’s provocations – that’s why I’m important
The president of the CEC Ž. The pavilion said the provocateurs who organized the attack were well-trained Kremlin specialists.
“I am proud that the Kremlin has chosen me as a target, like Renata Juškas. So I am important to the Kremlin because I do everything that it does not like,” said the politician.
Ž. The flag noted that Russian agents had also hacked into the computer of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and other Western politicians had also experienced provocations.
“It just came to our attention then. The question here is which side we are on: if someone in Lithuania likes the Kremlin preparations, all these little things that spill over, are believed and tried to make political stories through them, so sometimes such attacks show who is with whom. ” The president of URK commented.
When asked to comment on his words that the president of the country Gitanas Nausėda in Lithuania is symbolic, Ž. Pavilionis replied that he no longer works in diplomacy precisely because he could tell the truth.
“We are not Russia or China, where parliamentarians are talking about everything the president wants. We can and must tell the truth about the way the voters have chosen us. If it is a discussion in the Summit Council, I remain of the opinion that the Government should be present there ”, emphasized the deputy.
Sigismund Pavilionis
He said that politicians in the West do not publicly discuss such attacks and do not take them as plain truth because such recordings are not authentic.
“Never use the Kremlin products, do not take them for granted, this is the biggest mistake”, Ž. Pavilion.
The politician also hoped that the presidency did not get involved in commenting on the actions of the provocateurs.
“We are attacked because we are the most active defenders of freedom in Belarus,” argued a member of the Seimas.
When asked how he valued the deliberations of the opposition and G. Surplis, he was supposed to resign from the position of CEC president, Ž. Pavilionis said that speech is not news.
“It just came to our notice then. I suggested to the inexperienced shadow minister as soon as I saw his appeal: give me a call and at least find out what it really was,” said a member of the Seimas.
He also noted that the video of the provocateurs was distributed just before Ž. Visit of the pavilion to Berlin. However, as the URK president emphasized, the Kremlin’s goals were not exhausted, along with colleagues, according to Ž. Pavilionis, the meetings constantly discuss the attacks of the Russian provocateurs and talk that there may be them in the future.
