“I don’t think so, because we invite everyone individually. We spoke to many, they didn’t really show that desire. (We spoke) with T. Tomilinas and with L. Kukuraitis, and with S. Skvernelis. We campaigned for S. Skvernel to be our member in 2015, but he chose a fair and honest party: the “peasants” from whom he is now fleeing, “A. Sysas did not avoid the irony.
L. Kukuraitis himself did not deny that it was perhaps such an invitation.
“You know, I don’t remember if you invited me. Maybe that’s what you invited. And here, you know, those invites are clues that it’s hard to judge on. And I have absolutely no ears for these things because I haven’t been projecting myself into any activities yet. partying. I was not a member of the “peasants”, and so far I have not looked at other parties. As a result, it may have slipped and I forgot, “he said.
Mr. Tomilin confirmed the invitation, thanked him, but said that he had chosen a more difficult path.
“All the factions of the Seimas in one way or another expressed a friendly invitation to me,” I don’t know how serious it was, how serious it was. I have great respect for people. Naturally, the Social Democrats have offered me, as a leftist politician, to join them. I am grateful to you for that.
There was some coherence in my life. I never really admired politicians who walk through parties. (…) I simply believe that the last step a politician can take is to move on to the next party. I am on a more difficult path ”, said the parliamentarian.
The new political entity raises questions
Mr Sys did not agree that Social Democrats were allergic to the mere thought of Mr Skvernel’s presence in the party, but he was not enthusiastic about such a possibility.
“He’s not allergic, but just four years in the post of prime minister doesn’t mean he’s gone. This is how he bit his teeth and made some decisions related to children’s money, pension reform issues that were more than left, but enough fingers to count such decisions, ”said Sys.
In general, politicians are not clear about what direction the new political entity will take.
“They will probably try to go their own way and judging by the fact that they invited both A. Butkevičius and something else, there will be a mix here too. I don’t know what ideology they will promote,” Sys said.
After clarifying that the Seimas Democrats see themselves as representatives of the center-left political force, the Social Democrat laughed.
“What center is left if A. Butkevičius asks the liberals? What is the center-left here? What kind of liberal movement is the center-left here?” Laughed A. Sys.
I don’t think there is much of a rush to make friends
The politician agreed that, in the long run, this political entity could be seen as a competitor of the Social Democrats. In general, he described the situation as a political love triangle among voters.
“Judging by the fact that Karbauskis and company have succumbed to the radical right, if they say they will be center-left, then of course they will remain in part our competitors in the future, in the long term. The situation is that the “Peasants” stole our voters in 2016, and now S. Skvernelis will try to steal from the “peasants” themselves. And some voters are coming back to us, a love triangle, “said A. Sysas.
The Social Democrats have observed that, in all this context, they are still succeeding and believe that it is now important not to make the wrong decisions.
“For the moment, we are in Olympus, we will try not to get left behind, make mistakes and make unnecessary friendships with various people who are looking for their path. We have the program of our government, we have to try to follow it, not get distracted, and I think that then the chances are good for us to have a good performance in the elections, both in the local government and in the Seimas, “said A. Sysas.
The old politician sees no special prospects for the new political entity.
“I really don’t believe in the long existence of innovations. Sometimes it happens during a season. I don’t remember any split party that performed very strongly, except the Freedom Party. However, even there you have to wait at least four years. and see what comes out of it. The resurrections, or “violets,” came with a lot of noise, but then a failure, “said Sys.
According to the politician, the “peasants” now began to have problems that existed before, but at the same time they were considered in power.
“They say that ‘sweet word is freedom’, but I say that ‘sweet’ is no less sweet”. While in power, you can grit your teeth and endure disagreements because you have direct access to power, you are the host, you can dictate the demands, and when you come out in opposition, the disagreements that have been visible from day one are starting to grow. “Said Sys.
I think Šimonyte benefits everyone
According to the politician, these changes only benefit Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonyte.
“I even tend to think that Skvernel now has a card that can remove Freedom from the coalition because he has more votes. Why? S. Skvernelis is a man of power. He loves power. I agree with R. Karbauskis that He will go to 2016. I negotiated hard to take a clear position on the list, and have some position, and win. He is a man of conjuncture. Oh, if you suggest it, why give up? “Sys said.
In his view, there could be a shock in such a case and the Democrats in the ruling majority of the “Freedom Group” would change.
“It just came to our notice then.” Laisvė “has eight seats, and they will have thirteen, which is five votes at a time. To replace two ministers, and to replace the ministers who are the most unpopular on the list, the Conservatives immediately get ‘bonuses’, the headache goes away from alliances, LGBT, decriminalization. This could be Ostap Bender’s horseback ride here, “said A. Sys.
