A. Mazuronis explained that he did not know why V. Čmilytė-Nielsen offered him to become vice president of the Seimas.
Ask the Speaker of the Seimas what she’s giving. This is the competence of the president of Seimas ”, he told reporters on Friday and told how he learned of such a gesture from V.Čmilytė-Nielsen.
According to him, the president of the Seimas addressed the Labor Party faction on Friday and asked if the faction would propose something to the vice-presidents of the Seimas.
A.Mazuronis: if I am chosen, only because of my hair
“He asked if you would suggest it. We suggest. What do you suggest? Mane. That was the conversation – said A. Mazuronis. “After hearing the proposal from our faction, the Seimas Spokesman said: Thank you, we have heard the information, we will think.”

A. Mazuronis said that he only understood the fact that the Labor Party faction nominated him for Vice Presidents of the Seimas, and V. Čmilytė-Nielsen nominated him, when V. Čmilytė-Nielsen read the title of the draft resolution.
„[Apsisprendžiau] in about 15 seconds ”, assured A. Mazuronis.
Why did the president of the Seimas nominate first not the largest opposition faction but the smallest? Perhaps there was an exchange between the office and the Labor Party?
A. Mazuronis denied it.
The Labor Party did not agree at all with the new ruling majority.
“Perhaps it will surprise you – and I surprised the ‘peasants’ today – the Labor Party did not agree at all with the new ruling majority,” he said, hoping that the “peasants” who had reacted emotionally to the offer would seriously assess the situation. and your emotions will subside.
“The emotions on his part were a bit exaggerated,” Mazuronis added.
But perhaps the Labor Party will support the decisions of the rulers?
“Those provisions that are in line with the provisions of the Labor Party program will be supported by the Labor Party even without being in the ruling majority,” the politician replied.
A. Mazuronis did not expect a great support from the members of the Seimas to decide if he could be the vice president of the Seimas.
And do you think I will be elected by 138 votes? Even if I’m chosen, it’s really only through the hair. I don’t expect anything else, ”he commented before the vote.
V.Čmilytė-Nielsen said in advance that he would nominate two candidates for vice presidents of the Seimas on Friday. One of them, conservative Jurgis Razma, was revealed on Thursday. He did not announce the other charge in public until the Seimas session.
On Friday, LVŽS announced the appointment of A.Norkienė to the vice-presidents of Seimas. The party president, Ramūnas Karbauskis, assured her that this candidacy had been agreed with V. Čmilyte-Nielsen, but she did not present it on Friday.
LVŽS president R. Karbauskis was outraged by this, threatened to appeal to the Constitutional Court and explained that he had not seen anything like it.
R. Karbauskis threatens the Constitutional Court
R.Karbauskis stated that he had not heard the answer to the question why A.Norkienė, nominated by LVŽS, was not presented to the Vice Presidents of the Seimas on Friday.

“The president of the Seimas does not answer in a specific or unspecific way to the question why he has not presented himself today.
We do not know what agreements were made between the Labor Party and the Conservatives. We only know that the situation is completely incomprehensible: the smallest opposition fraction receives the proposal of the deputy and their candidate is voted, and the president of Seimas does not listen to the larger factions, “the LVŽS magician told journalists in the Seimas.
“According to the interpretation of the Constitutional Court, this cannot be done in this way. The Constitutional Court has clarified that there must be proportions, they must remain in the leadership of the Seimas.
Apparently, the last stage, when for a year and a half the opposition of the Seimas had a majority in the board, perhaps that mind awakened here. But if that is the case, then we will go to the Constitutional Court, ”R. Karbauskis finally warned.
At least two of the vice presidents of the Seimas must be from the opposition. Only one of them will be voted on Friday, the Seimas will decide later on the other. Thus, the “peasants” can look for another candidate for Vice President of the Seimas.
R. Karbauskis did not give a clear answer to the question of whether he will.
It started with what no one has started yet.
“Some of the conservatives have told us that we will have an opposition leader or something like that. But this is not. Here, the opposition has the right to have an opposition leader, and the proportions on the board are formed by appointing deputies. In this case, we do not understand that the action started from what no one has started yet ”, said the leader of the“ campesinos ”.
During the session, R. Karbauskis asked then-president V.Čmilytė-Nielsen why she was nominating the candidate of the smallest opposition faction, not the largest, to be vice-presidents of the Seimas.
V.Čmilytė-Nielsen replied that this is not the end, other MPs will be appointed later, not on Friday. Later, during the Seimas session, he stated that he wanted the entire opposition to be represented on the Seimas board.
