Karbauskis: we are against Vytautas Landsbergis being considered head of state

“We have spoken about this issue more than once and we see the historical fact that the then Provisional Constitution did not grant the president of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania the status of head of state and the then president of the Supreme Council Vytautas Landsbergis was not elected as such. The Constitutional Court has also held that, according to the Constitution, the legislator is not authorized to establish such legal regulation that denies the individual legal status of the President of the Republic different from the legal status of all other state officials and create legal preconditions to equate another person with the president, “says Ramūnas Karbauskis, shadow cabinet chief, and claims that after becoming the ruling party, the LVŽS will seek to repeal this law.

“If we become the ruling party, we will reverse the decisions of this government, which they pushed like a bulldozer and against the will of the people, including the proclamation of V. Landsbergis as head of state,” says the shadow prime minister.

According to the shadow Cabinet, the Legal Department of the Seimas, when evaluating the bill on the legal status of the president of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania, established possible violations of the Constitution, and the Committee on Law and Order of the Seimas in the event of a tie.

“This means that there is no consensus of political forces, the project is being pushed forward by force, turning on the ruling bulldozer, without listening to the arguments of the lawyers, ignoring the conclusion of the Legal Department. Decisions based solely on politicization and a willingness to share positions and responsibilities are accepted as long as those in power have the opportunity to do so.

Such behavior in trying to rewrite the first year of the restoration of independence not only discredits the image and memory of V. Landsbergis about it in history, but also, by emphasizing one, despises all other people without whom. Independence would not be restored, ”he says. the shadow Minister of Justice, Agnė Širinskienė.
