According to him, the criticism made by the minister that it was as if the previous government, which had not adequately assessed the situation at the time, was not prepared for the future migration crisis, is simply desperate.
“It works hopelessly, and he’s commenting on it … I’m just saying he’s a hopeless minister,” Eltai said in 2016-2020. S. Skvernelis, who headed the Cabinet of Ministers.
At a press conference on Thursday, A. Bilotaitė said that the current government, faced with the migration crisis organized by the Aliaksandr Lukashenko regime, had to do in a month what it has not done in the last 4-5 years.

Regrettably, I must say that since then no action has been taken, no preliminary contracts have been drawn up and places and infrastructure have been provided where these people should be housed, although there are real preparations for such threats, ”said the Minister.
The politician considered that no conclusions have been drawn about the management of similar crises because those responsible had not adequately evaluated the situation.
“Although in 2016-2017. and there were preparations, exercises, recommendations, but unfortunately, due to the inadequate assessment of the situation of some people, perhaps due to the lack of knowledge of the seriousness of the situation, certain actions were not taken ”, said A. Bilotaitė.
S. Skvernelis: it was a mistake to appoint A. Bilotaitė as minister
S. Skvernel, who has repeatedly criticized the minister for how he handles the illegal immigrant crisis, says he does not take such accusations seriously. According to the politician, if the minister addressed the previous government in her speeches, it only shows her incompetence.
“The exercises were done, everything is fixed, all you had to do was lift the paper successfully and behave as necessary. But when you can’t do that, you are looking for some kind of coverage. On the other hand, they themselves caused the crisis. Before causing a crisis, you need to check if you have the skills and competencies to manage them. If you don’t have to, you just have to keep quiet, “said S. Skvernelis, who worked for the Algirdas Butkevičius government and headed the Interior Ministry.
When asked what specific errors by A. Bilotaitė provoke such a sharp criticism of her, S. Skvernelis replied quite abstractly: that the error was attributing A. Bilotaitė to the Minister.
“I think the biggest mistake is that Bilotaitė appeared in the post of Minister of the Interior. You need to have basic skills, just grinding with your tongue, which was the usual thing before, turns out not to be enough,” summarized S. Skvernelis.
