He has been writing letters for almost half a year and has received no response. LVŽS leader R. Karbauskis complains that the Cabinet of Ministers ignores both him and the entire shadow government. As a result, he appealed to the ombudsman of the Seimas.
“Various proposals, various issues related to the coronavirus crisis, the migration crisis. We received only one response out of 12 – from the Ministry of the Environment, “R. Karbauskis, director of LVŽS, told LNK.
Agnė Širinskienė, representative of the LVŽS faction in the Seimas, stated that the Seimas ombudsman often views this behavior as bureaucracy.
“We understand that those letters were not even registered.” The ombudsman’s office generally treats this behavior as bureaucracy, “he said.
The peasant leader has recently voiced many reproaches to both the Government and Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonyte.
The Prime Minister herself assures that the peasants claim exclusive rights for the shadow government they have created. And that such a format of the shadow cabinet does not comply with either the Constitution or the Statute of the Seimas. Therefore, it will not continue to place an exceptional value on the shadow government.
“Mr. Karbauskis is not an opposition. Mr. Karbauskis is not even in the Seimas. It is very difficult for me to evaluate my relationship with an entrepreneur who leads one of the parties registered in Lithuania,” I. Šimonytė told reporters in the Seimas last week.
R. Karbauskis, for his part, replies that he addresses the Government as a citizen.
“It just came to our attention then. Because I am the weak side of the court’s interpretation,” he said.
According to the conservatives, R. Karbauskis is to blame for his situation.
“This is where R. Karbauskis can only blame himself when he so irresponsibly rejected the mandate of a member of the Seimas. Now he would be the head of the largest opposition faction and could write some questions to the prime minister. invite the prime minister to the plenary room, “conservative Jurgis Razma told LNK.
And the political scientists call the address of the director of LVŽS R. Karbauskis to the ombudsman of the Seimas, or hint at the interpellation of I. Šimonytė, an ordinary action to attract attention.
“R. Karbauskis has to make some statements in public. Maybe trying to cause some minor political scandals. But all of this is just an effort to stay in the spotlight, when those opportunities have already diminished significantly, ”said Tomas Janeliūnas, political scientist at VU TSPMI.
A. Širinskienė, called the right hand of R. Karbauskis, registered amendments to the Statute of the Seimas, which would allow the shadow government to be officially legitimized.
Political scientists consider such a decision to be illogical, because it consists of a single opposition force. If officially legitimized, the peasant leader would gain more power. However, neither R. Karbauskis nor A. Širinskienė believe that anyone agrees with the proposal.
“From what we see in public, it is really unlikely. But I think it is necessary to discuss the status of shadow governments,” explained A. Širinskienė, a representative of the LVŽS faction.
As R. Karbauskis is not a member of the Seimas, he only has political power in the peasant faction, as president of the party.
However, for exactly the same reason, no one can monitor or control the activities of R. Karbauskis.
According to the political scientist, R. Karbauskis is trying to take advantage of such a situation.
“He wants the sheep to be healthy and the wolves full. Well, sadly that’s not the case. You have to follow the rules. And in politics, those rules don’t necessarily coincide with business principles where the director has minimal or minimal control. null on the director. And the director controls everyone, “MRU political scientist Rima Urbonaitė told LNK.
The ambitions of the peasants of the Seimas are criticized not only by those in power, but also by all factions of the opposition.
