Bilotaitė: individuals must take responsibility
Interior Minister A. Bilotaitė believes that the people who caused the riots on Tuesday may have been misled. They came to express a position on the government’s decisions, but yesterday’s events before Seimas, the violent actions show that the objectives of the event were different.
“The organizers of the riots are responsible for what happened and they will have to assume that responsibility. As you know, the administrative responsibility for organizing the riots is granted for up to 6 years,” says A. Bilotaitė.
The Minister believes that yesterday’s events in Rūdninkai are also organized.
“The situation is tense, all the officials of the Ministry of the Interior participate to the maximum in the crisis meeting. The police officers not only work in their direct functions, but also guarantee the protection of other objects located on the border. VST no it only performs its functions, but also protects objects and reacts if necessary ”, says A. Bilotaitė.
These arrangements, according to the Minister, are an attempt to unbalance the situation and achieve certain objectives. A. Bilotaitė says that a hybrid attack is currently being experienced against Lithuania. The migrants and the Monday riots are currently in use.
“It just came to our attention then. It is scandalous that some members of the Seimas, whose faces were clearly visible yesterday, are involved in anti-state activities. It is obvious that these individuals will have to take responsibility, because they are acting against the interests of the state. , the nation that elected them ”, comments A. Bilotaitė.
The minister also thanked the officials at the press conference.
“In the performance of their duties, they were injured and found themselves in medical institutions and operating rooms. This is intolerable, it is regrettable that such measures must be taken and the State defended. I promise that we will do everything possible to prevent this from happening again. We are in a state of hybrid warfare, riots are part of the war, ”says A. Bilotaitė.
The minister believes that the members of the Seimas must take personal responsibility. The minister also awaits a legal and political assessment.
“It is obvious that such actions, incitement during an emergency, is a serious act, but I want to emphasize that it must be evaluated by the forces of order and the entire parliament”, comments A. Bilotaitė.
However, according to A. Bilotaitė, this situation was a good lesson, every effort will be made to avoid a repeat of this situation. It is therefore important that accountability is applied and that it sends a clear signal for the future.
