“We have a meeting of the opposition groups tomorrow, but regarding the previously known opinion, I think it would be difficult to expect support here. Apparently, the rulers do not want that, because if they had wanted it, they would have negotiated and listened to the opinion of the opposition on the issue, “the former prime minister told BNS on Monday.
He also claimed that the largest of the conservative faction in the Seimas, Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė, had informed him that such a bill would be presented, but that he had not coordinated with the opposition.
“A colleague reported this morning that such a bill will be presented, for information only. But if you want to have consensus, support, I think you have to seek a broader consensus on such an important issue. I don’t know if we should go back to that topic at the end of the session. We saw an attempt in the Seimas to push forward the resolution prepared by Emanuel Zinger, we saw previous attempts, it was history and people in the know admit that V. Landsbergis was the real leader, should it be registered by law? “S,” Skvernelis said.
The draft law on the legal status of the president of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania was registered on Monday by the president of the Seimas, leader of the Liberal Movement Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen,
Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė and the eldest of the Liberal Movement faction, Eugenijus Gentvilas, are among the initiators of the bill.
The bill proposes to establish that “the President of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania since 1990. March 11 the head of the independent state of Lithuania was restored.
The law would establish that according to the Provisional Basic Law of March 11, 1990, the President of the Supreme Council was the highest official in Lithuania and “from 1990. March 11 to 1992 November 25 had and exercised the constitutional powers of the head of state “.
The initiators claim that the project was developed “after evaluating the political, historical and legal circumstances and the work carried out, which determined the exceptional constitutional, political and legal status of the President of the Supreme Council of Lithuania to carry out the work for him. it was commissioned by the representatives of the people. “
According to S. Skvernelis, such a bill is “strange”.
“It’s a strange bill that doesn’t say much. Stranger still would be if he shows up in the last days of the session. Well, and the arguments, of course, want to treat the story differently. Looking back to change the historical facts, I do not see sense, need or decency, “said the opposition leader.
“Everyone knows what the circumstances are, the factual circumstances are known, but they are such that Mr. Landsbergis was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the LSSR, and then retroactively changed to the Supreme Restorative-Seimas Council.” At that time, the president of the Supreme Council performed certain functions; It certainly wasn’t what the Constitution means today as head of state status, ”he said.
The Seimas had already tried to grant the status of head of state to V. Landsbergis during the last term, but at the initiative of the then president of the Seimas, Viktoras Pranckietis, he did not receive the political support of the former rulers.
