“The Lithuanian Family Movement decided yesterday at the Council meeting that we will not really change places, because it loses all the meaning of the process itself. We refer to the decision of the Administrative Court of July 9, where we had appealed the breach of the municipality from June 15 to 16.
The court has established four paragraphs in which it is clearly stated: without providing any evidence for it “, – R. Grinevičius quoted in the program” Delfi Tema “.
Representatives of the family movement measured the distances themselves and do not agree that it is not possible to organize a large event near the Seimas in accordance with the requirements of the law.
According to yesterday’s data, where measurements were made with laser devices, the distance from the Seimas was 75 meters, and after evaluating the Mažvydas Library Square, in addition, as agreed with the Municipality of Vilnius, the intersection of Gediminas Avenue with Gynėjų Street. Thousands of square meters. It can accommodate at least eight thousand people at least, without pressure, ”explained R. Grinevičius.
It also ignores the message from the Vilnius City Municipality that the coordination of planned protest events is currently suspended.
“The lineup has not been suspended, revoked or suspended to this day. There is an official document from July 2 that we are preparing on. What will happen after August 31, then we will solve the problem, after consultation with the municipality, ”said R. Grinevičius.
The head of the family movement explained that during the September 10 rally they plan to present final demands to the Seimas and the Government.
“More actions will be transferred to other forms of protest, a coordination group is being formed, coordination with the unions of various organizations, we have tried to contact the police union as well and a general political strike is planned,” R. Grinevičius said.
He thinks it could take about a month to prepare for it.
Do you doubt whether security would be achieved under such conditions?
The Deputy Commissioner General of Police, Arūnas Paulauskas, stated in the program that the police are actively preparing for the LGBT march scheduled for September 4 in Kaunas and the rally scheduled for September 10 in Vilnius.
“We are preparing taking into account the worst scenarios that can happen, starting with the mobilization of forces, openings, etc.
We always declare that we respect the constitutional right of citizens to participate in meetings, but we warn that these meetings should not exceed the limits established by law, ”said A. Paulauskas.
According to a police spokesperson, one such boundary has already been mentioned, which is at a distance of 75 meters from the Seimas, from government or presidential buildings.
“It just came to our notice then. Mr. Grinevičius’s comment that eight thousand people can crowd into the four thousand square meters that are still free while maintaining those 75 meters is physically possible, but is it safe for the event? Can Mr. Grinevičius, as an organizer, ensure the safety of the people, that there will be no congestion, that no one will be injured? This raises some of those doubts, “said A. Paulauskas.
LGBT march in Kaunas “will definitely happen”
The decision to hold an LGBT march in Kaunas also does not change social tensions. Artūras Rudomanskis, president of the Tolerant Youth Association, said on the show that the event “will definitely happen.”
“I should first ask the organizers, I am just one of the participants. The organizers assure me that they will do everything possible to make the event happen. You should not mislead people and say” it may not happen “. Definitely it will happen, and at the moment there is a judicial decision, only that it is delayed in its implementation, “said A. Rudomanskis.
At the same time, he emphasized that this is not just an event, but a protest action, for which a Kaunas Pride manifesto has been drawn up, in which clear demands have been made.
“For example, such as the requirement to guarantee the right to marriage, partnership and adoption, (…) to modify the Law for the Protection of Minors from Negative Public Information,” Rudomanskis said.
According to him, it is important to separate this event from the Family March.
“This event is peaceful, it does not incite hatred against other people. It demands that rights be given to people, ”said A. Rudomanskis.
