“The fourth vice-president of the party is Aušra Norkienė, the fifth vice-president is Tomas Tomilinas, the sixth academic is Eugenijus Jovaiša and the seventh is Agnė Širinskienė,” says Seimas member Ramūnas Karbauskis.

Finally, the final composition of the “green peasant” team in the Seimas elections was clear. The initial trio announced on Friday has not changed: Saulius Skvernelis first, Ramūnas Karbauskis second, Aurelijus Veryga third. And the right hand of Ramūnas Karbauskis in the Seimas, the peasant Agnė Širinskienė in the race for the seats of the members of the Seimas is marked not with the fourth, as speculated above, but with the seventh number. The list was supposedly sorted by gender as well.

“We had criteria to ask our colleagues to take into account that there should be at least 3 women out of ten,” says R. Karbauskis.

The list includes several current and former ministers and advisers to the Skvernel Government. The thirteenth government chancellor Arvydas Stončaitis, the fourteenth former agriculture minister Giedrius Surplys, slightly below the adviser to the prime minister, Lukas Savickas, the ministers Linas Kukuraitis and Kęstutis Mažeika remained in the top ten. The list also included places for the Naisių vasaras Piju agronomist and actor Aurimas Žvinis.

“If we talk about those who are not partisan, Linas Kukuraitis is not partisan. We have 4 people from ‘United Kaunas’. They are on the list, by county. There are people on this list who are not members of the” Green Union Peasants “, says R. Karbauskis.

All the parties mentioned most frequently in the electoral surveys: peasants, social democrats and conservatives have already presented their elections.

Ingrida Šimonytė, Gabrielius Landsbergis, Laurynas Kasčiūnas, Radvilė Morkūnaitė Mikulėnienė, Paulius Saudargas, Arvydas Anušauskas, Agnė Bilotaitė are the first to play the violin on the list of conservators.

Facing the Social Democrats, the speaker Gintautas Paluckas, Rasa Budbergytė and the Mayor of Jonava, Mindaugas Sinkevičius, had to participate in the Seimas elections in the third issue, but he rejected this opportunity. Orinta Leiputė, Romas Lazutka, Julius Sabatauskas, Dovilė Šakalienė continue to line up. Some political scientists consider the list of Social Democrats in the three largest parties to be the most interesting.

“What surprised me most was that there was no room for those older and older people at the party. Such an impression is formed that the desire to renew, refresh, rejuvenate according to the age of the candidates. There are people who have never had a position of leadership at all, ”said political scientist Jūratė Novagrockienė.

The reviewers also note that the big parties have drastically adjusted their lists not only in terms of popularity, but also in terms of specific electoral strategies.

“For example, in the Conservative Party, we see that the most liberal wing a little through the rankings, goes down a little, and visible but conservative leaders are attracted to the first positions,” says political scientist Bernar Ivanov.

The lists are connected by a similar structure. In addition to clear leaders, the parties try to mix authoritative and highly visible candidates.

“The seats are divided into two groups, these are the rank leaders, those people who, in the opinion of the people who support the party, are really authoritarian.” Another group of people, those people whose faces are recognizable, ”says political scientist Lauras Bielinis.

At that time, the peasants, according to political scientists, were trying to use the advantage obtained during the quarantine as their main weapon.

“This year we will see more in the elections of populism and dirty technology. The strategy of the peasants themselves is absolutely populist than last time. If last time they followed the motto of state capitalism, now they are practically the only strategy to save the nation of Boiled“- says the political scientist Bernar Ivanov.

On all the lists you can find personalities who were invited to the elections only for the sake of fame.

“Famous surnames, famous people are invited to the lists. That is, when the big parties are taken, everyone has a former general, an army commander. Most parties invited doctors who were most visible during the period quarantine, “said J. Novagrockienė.

Famous surnames are more necessary for less popular parties. On the Labor Party list, Simas Galdikas, the middle striker for the Klaipėda Neptūnas team and the Liberal Movement, hosted the President of Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis. Artūras Zuokas, Remigijus Žemaitaitis and Artūras Paulauskas hope that the team will achieve a better result.

“There is always a problem for new structures. Exposing themselves effectively, because the oldest political parties can present themselves in society for a long time and expose themselves quite effectively and for a long time, while the new political forces have to exploit in a short time to demonstrate that they are like, and make them think of themselves. , who did not know yesterday that such parties existed, “says L. Bielinis.

This year, the Seimas elections will take place in the fall on October 11.
