“We understand that the Social Democrats, Conservatives and Liberals will work together. It is a public secret and it is difficult to say at this point if we will have enough partners to form another coalition. (…)
I think the best will be the second round of the elections. If anyone from Lithuania doubts what Saulius Skvernelis and R. Karbauskis say, it will become apparent in the second round. In the second round, the Social Democratic Party will support the conservative candidates in the constituencies where they will compete with the peasants. Who does this when he wants to form a coalition with the “peasants”? Nothing.
The Peasant Green Union will support all the Social Democratic candidates, if any, in the second round with the Conservatives. Unfortunately, the leader of the Social Democrats will not hear that, “said R. Karbauskis.
The question for the second round is open
Rasa Budbergytė, the largest of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party faction in the Seimas, believes that in these languages the “peasants” seek to attract the votes of the voters of his party.
“They are the so-called electoral polytechnics, when political parties fight for the same voter who votes for the left. Mr. Karbauskis uses this technology very aggressively. I can assure you that agreements are not being made, with conservatives, liberals, “peasants”, said R. Budbergytė.
He said the coalitions will be clarified when the election result is clear. The Social Democrat also assured that the party has not yet resolved the question of what it will support in the second round of the single-member elections if the conservative candidate fights the green peasant.
“We haven’t really talked about it,” R. Budbergytė said.
Skvernelis spoke about possible coalition options
On Thursday morning, Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis declared that the opposition National Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD), the Liberal Movement and the Social Democrats could form a coalition after the Seimas elections.
“I would probably imagine that coalition, which today is de jure and de facto the opposition of Seimas, working for almost two and a half years in a very harmonious way (…) it is the Unión Patria, the Liberal Movement and the Gintautas social democrats Paluckas, “the government told News. guide cited by BNS.
“In fact, the votes show it, for more than two and a half years, on all issues, even those in which it should really stand out ideologically, if we talk about left politics, center-left politics (…) unfortunately we see a very liberal vote. ” He said.
The prime minister said it was unthinkable at this time that the peasants could be in coalition with the conservatives, but did not call in front of them.
“Today I believe that our political forces are too far away. Not only in terms of values, such fundamental strategic issues, but also the human factor also has a lot, that behavior, I can say it again on my own, of the members of the Conservative Party ( …) is often low, unethical, not very collective, “he said. S. Skvernelis.
“Yes, we are opponents, we are people of different opinions, different ideologies, different personal qualities, but we are political partners and we are opponents, but not enemies,” he said.
According to him, starting to call the political parties to the contrary would cross the “last line”.
Landsberg asked the question early
TS-LKD leader Gabrielius Landsbergis did not rule out working with the Social Democrats. So far, the leader of this party continues to repeat only one party with which he would not see the opportunity to work together. Although he does not mention his name, it can be assumed that it is a Polish Lithuanian election campaign, a union of Christian families.
“I repeat that perhaps the fundamental principle when considering who to work with is the attitude towards the state. If a party has people in its ranks who have collaborated with foreign intelligence, then obviously it is not a party that would be behind this state. Maybe it’s for some other state, like the Russian Federation or the Lukashenko regime, we don’t want to have anything to do with such political forces.
Everything else is very difficult to predict. It is a divination of the coffee grounds, (…) what the Seimas will be, what fractions and what size we will have, it is very difficult to say. Some pair us with liberals or other political forces. Our poll showed that people would also see a joint coalition with the Social Democrats. I also see an opportunity for that. But if, say, Rima Baškienė were the leader of the “peasants” faction and it was seven people, I imagine that we could also cooperate with that faction, “said G. Landsbergis.
V. Čmilytė-Nielsen: many combinations are possible
Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, the president of the Liberal Movement, did not go into more detailed assessments of the “peasants” deliberations on the coalitions.
“I find it difficult to understand the objectives of the ‘campesinos’. His statements, especially before the elections, often go beyond logic. Basically, there is a week left before the elections. Definitely, which will be the coalitions will be determined by the results of the elections and how the attitudes of the parties are harmonized.
Many combinations are possible, but above all there is the will of the electorate. On the part of the Liberal Movement, the most important thing for us is to reach agreements with those parties with whom our values coincide ”, said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.
The Seimas elections will be held on October 11.
