The news portal tv3.lt recalls that Gitanas Nausėda criticized the Minister of Health, Arūnas Dulkis, on Friday for his work.
The epidemiological situation is constantly deteriorating and infection rates are increasing every day. President Gitanas Nausėda affirms that Lithuania is the worst of the European Union countries to face the crisis in the world, so it is necessary to look for new paths.
According to the president, the management of the pandemic translates into proposals that “no longer force or pressure workers to vaccinate, but rather encourage them to do so.”
“You may recall that a few months ago we talked about the possibility of contributing to certain target groups of people or providing financial incentives for vaccines. At the time, there was talk that it was too late, as a significant proportion had been vaccinated. I’m not going to judge this decision specifically by how good it is, but the most important thing is that we have moved in the right direction and stopped looking for the result on pressure alone. We are talking about how to cheer people up, “G. Nausėda told reporters on Friday.
According to him, the employers themselves encourage their employees to be vaccinated in various ways, so today we need to talk more “not about coercive or coercive methods, because, as we can see, if they give a great result.”
“If the statistics are misleading, we have more patients than the first dose. It means that there is something wrong with our system and we have to find new ways,” he said.
When asked by journalists if they should change ministers, G. Nausėda said that first the Seimas announces an interpellation, but notes that “today no one is showing the political will to form an alternative government.”
He also mentioned that current Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys is having a difficult time handling the pandemic, so if he doesn’t see the possibilities of handling the pandemic, he offered to leave.
“We lost 50 lives last week and that is beyond bad. This situation is very bad. This question in this situation is very simple. There are two ways: either he says he knows how to make a breakthrough, because Lithuania is currently the worst in terms of disease and third in terms of mortality, or if he does not see ways to do it, he does not take the government. hostage, in this case.
If the Prime Minister does not make this decision today, Mr. A. Dulkys, if he admits that it is difficult for him to get along, can help the Prime Minister, the road is very simple, ”he said.
Dustys gave the answer
A little later on Friday, SAM circulated A. Dulkis’s comment. In it, the minister states that he has no intention of resigning.
“The way forward is simple: continue to vaccinate everyone. This week, the Government adopted and proposed to the Seimas additional important decisions necessary for the promotion of immunization. We work intensively in this direction on a daily basis.
I feel the confidence of the Prime Minister and I am focused on direct work. I leave the evaluation of my work to others ”, – comments A. Dulkis.
Former Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said on Monday that the ministry’s decision to buy the “Different Talks” program with the minister’s adviser “had neglected the political ethics and responsibilities that the president had previously discussed in principle.”
“This is another event that confirms that the Minister of Health has not become a politician who understands his political responsibility and, in the end, neither he nor his ministry have an effective pandemic management plan,” wrote an official from the opposition from Seimas on Facebook.
He added that the responsibility for “such financial decisions” “rests directly with the Minister of Health.”
At the time, A. Dulkys, when asked how he evaluates such proposals by S. Skvernelis, said that he believed that his responsibility should be valued by those who “themselves understand what responsibility is.”
“It is most important to me that my responsibility is appreciated by those people who understand what responsibility is, so I can tell,” said A. Dulkys.
Last week, the Health Ministry received criticism when it became clear that it was preparing to pay producers for the “Other Conversations” program, which was attended by the minister’s public advisor, surgeon Edgaras Kulikauskas, known by the nickname Surgeon Cynical.
The interlocutor himself said that he had no knowledge of the deal, which was confirmed by the show’s organizers.
In the event of a scandal, the creators of “Other Conversations” and the ministry announced that there would be no payment for the program. With taxes, it had to cost 12 thousand. euros.
On Monday, the ministry announced that Aistė Šuksta, the communications minister’s adviser, had resigned, who said she regretted that her decisions had provoked negative reactions in society.
Šimonytė: I trust the dust
When asked if she had any doubts about the work of A. Dulkis, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė said Thursday that she could raise doubts about everything, but at the same time points out that there was no government whose work was not in doubt.
In the story of “Different Conversations”, in the opinion of the Prime Minister, it is only worth discussing what has been done wrong.
“The show itself, both in audience and in persuasion, as well as the interlocutor, is really worth mentioning.
It was wrong not to mark the program and obviously it is a violation, such a thing really should not have happened and the person who committed this negligence took responsibility, ”said I. Šimonytė on the air of radio Žinių.
Other necessities such as photos, according to the prime minister, are not uncommon activities.
“These purchases happen constantly, all the time. It has come under attack at the time when Dulkis is getting a lot of attention. It seems to me that the main problem is that a lot of attention is paid to things that are small enough. Yes, the people who made a mistake about “Other Conversations”, I rate it very badly, “says I. Šimonytė.
The Prime Minister added that she was glad that the advisor to A. Dulkis had assumed responsibility for “Other consolations” and resigned from his current position.
I. Šimonytė was asked if the work of A. Dulkis gave her no doubts, she said she trusted the Minister.
“I trust the minister, do I have any comment for him? Of course, “says I. Šimonytė.
I. Šimonytė declined to release his comments on the air.
