At the meeting of the Council of the Liberal Movement on Saturday, it became clear that the list of candidates for the elections would be headed by the party’s president, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, the second candidate in the multi-member constituency, Andrius Bagdonas, and the third, the President of Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis.
“Thanks for the trust, it is too big for me, but I will accept it,” V. Franckietis joked during the meeting.

M. Nagevičius was disappointed with the choice of colleagues
However, not all party members are happy with the confidence shown by their colleagues in the former “peasant”.
Energy expert Martynas Nagevičius announced on Facebook that he would suspend his membership in the party, but did not prevent him from respecting the Liberal Movement and not wanting any other proposal from the party.

“Today marks the end of my 9 year life. 9 years trying to be a politician. I am blocking membership in the Liberal Party of the Republic of Lithuania. “There are no plans to rebuild it in the near future or, if this membership is canceled, join another party,” writes the politician.
Such decision by M. Nagevičius was determined by the results of the classification of the party candidates for the Seimas revealed on Saturday. He did not hide his anger when he saw that his colleagues had taken third place to the President of the Seimas, who had been criticized by the leaders of the liberal faction several years ago.
The candidate who received the highest place among my ranked candidates was only eighth in the final list, even five places lower than the President of the Seimas, whom the leaders of the liberal faction rated as zero understanding of democracy a few years ago. .
“When I saw today the top ten ranked members of the Liberal Movement for the Seimas elections and the fact that the candidate who received the highest place among my ranked candidates ranked only eighth in the final list, even five places less than the current President of Las Seimas. ” Zero understanding of democracy, I was overwhelmed by elemental anger, “revealed M. Nagevičius.
The energy expert was disappointed that a large part of the party members chose a pragmatic path, seeking the favor of those voters who, for some reason, favor V. Pranckietis but do not vote for the peasants.
“And they do not select those candidates who more clearly follow the principles set out in the manifestos of the liberal program in their political activities,” emphasized M. Nagevičius.
A large part of the party members chose a pragmatic path, seeking the favor of those voters who, for some reason, favor V. Pranckietis but do not vote for the peasants.
He also regretted the fact that all parties were constantly compromising their ideological principles to increase their capacity for expansion.
“In all parties, party leaders constantly have to speak for one, think for another, and act for a third party. All parties have some form of party manipulation and dissident voters,” the politician wrote, adding that already did not want to participate in the process.
There are more newcomers to the candidate list.
The fourth in the list of candidates of the Liberal Movement to the Seimas is the ex disc jockey Virginijus Alekna, the fifth is the mayor of the municipality of the district of Trakai Edita Rudelienė, the sixth is Eugenijus Gentvilas, the seventh is the political scientist Raimundas Lopata, who recently announced his decision to apply for the Seimas.
The ninth candidate on the list is Arminas Lydeka, the tenth is Simonas Kairys.
Among the top ten: Nijolė Makštutienė, Kęstutis Glaveckas, Orinta Omelytė, Sigitas Mičiulis, Ričardas Juška, Jonas Liesys, Marcijonas Urmonas, Kęstutis Vaitukaitis, Gintaras Vaičekauskas and Ligita Kazlauskienė.
