June 21 The president convened the State Defense Council to discuss the readiness of the institutions of the Internal System to respond to hybrid threats and interaction with the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
Only the initiative initiated by the president on July 12 was dedicated to protecting the state border. Meeting of the State Defense Council. During the meeting, the President highlighted the need to immediately install a physical barrier at the border, allocating sufficient human and technical resources to border protection. At the same time, the president stressed that the cessation of illegal migration must take place in accordance with Lithuania’s international obligations. Unfortunately, in a hurry, the laws prepared by the Ministry of the Interior were presented to the Seimas, which now need to be urgently amended.

The state energy group Epso-G signed an agreement on the first stage of installation of a fence on the border with Belarus on September 14, ”said Ridas Jasiulionis, adviser to the President’s Communications Group, in response to questions from Delfi.
The presidency regretted that a lie had been spread in response to the words of A. Skaisgirytė.
We regret that, in response to the words of Advisor A.Skaisgirytė, a lie was spread that the Presidential Institution had allegedly urged not to rush in the adoption of revocation decisions. On the contrary, from the very beginning of this crisis, the President and his advisers have sought to resolve it as quickly and efficiently as possible, ”says R. Jasiulionis’s response.
The speech sparked a wave of valuations
On Tuesday morning, ELTA wrote that the Presidency appreciated the actions of the Government led by I. Šimonytė during the crisis of illegal immigrants. According to Asta Skaisgirytė, the president’s chief adviser, at the beginning of the crisis, the mismanaged rulers took decisive action only after the convocation of the State Defense Council (VGT) and a clear conversation with the president.
“From the beginning we saw that things were going quite badly, and about a month later the situation improved, when decisive measures were taken after the convocation of the State Defense Council and a clear conversation between the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Interior and other ministers, “News News said Tuesday. Chief Advisor to the President.
These words provoked a great storm of reactions in the Seimas and the Government.
“I am trying to remember that ‘clear conversation’. Perhaps I unnecessarily hope that other politicians, and especially those who speak on his behalf, also value his merits with due restraint. But I would still like to have hope,” wrote I. Šimonytė on Facebook .
The chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee of the Seimas of the National Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrat Group, Laurynas Kasčiūnas, also responded to the message from the Presidency. The parliamentarian pointed out that “speaking of the chronology of the events itself, the presidential adviser is, to put it mildly, inaccurate.”
The president of the Seimas NSGK stated that he had to participate in the discussion and discussion in the government with the prime minister on how to handle the crisis. Also in the Seimas preparing and adopting both a resolution that names hybrid aggression and the bills presented by the Government.
I also well remember that decisive meeting at Government House, during which decisive action was decided and the Ministry of the Interior was instructed to implement it. Unfortunately, at the time, the Presidential Institution urged not to rush revocation decisions, and then seriously indicated that it was considering vetoing the necessary amendments to the Foreigners Legal Registration Law. It is good that the president, however, has listened to the arguments of the Seimas and the Government and has not respected the law. This was a very important step for the head of state, because we did not waste time, we showed unity to both the international community and Minsk.
Lithuania has resolutely resisted the hybrid aggression of the Belarusian regime through the joint efforts of all branches of government and institutions, so it would be good to maintain that approach without further senseless competition between institutions. Our real “competitors” are beyond the border, “wrote L. Kasčiūnas.
Interior Minister A. Bilotaitė evaluated A. Skaisgirytė’s position that the Government had taken decisive action to manage the crisis of illegal immigrants only after the convocation of the State Defense Council (VGT) and a clear conversation with the head of state. as a desire to “warm up with the glory achieved by others.”
“This just shows that our government has handled this crisis and, it seems, other institutions seem to want to warm up in this glory,” A. Bilotaitė said in the Seimas court on Tuesday.
