The lawyers, after analyzing their speeches in committee, pointed out that the policy could have impacted the representatives of the institutions.

“Basically, the aim was not to solve the pollution problem in Klaipeda, to which many companies operating in Klaipeda contribute, but to generate an unauthorized and illegal impact on both the company and the public administration entities simply by inviting them to participate. in said meeting, and especially by asking questions. Such inadmissible conduct of the Chairman of the Committee and its members violates the constitutional principle of division of powers, other legal acts, the rule of law, the principles of division of powers, “the letter reads circulated.

Attention was also drawn to the fact that Dalia Pocienė, chief prosecutor of the Klaipėda Regional Prosecutor’s Office, also participated in the meeting, although it was alleged that “the committee had no legal basis to invite prosecutors to the meeting”.
After analyzing D.Pocienė’s statements, the lawyers saw possible violations of the presumption of innocence.

“The prosecutor D.Pocienė, who participated in the committee meeting, in one case provided detailed information as a prosecutor who controlled the investigation, in another case she actively expressed her position as a representative of the community,” said the lawyers.

After analyzing and criticizing the statements of the participants of the committee meeting, the representatives of Grigeo Klaipėda pointed out that the company could have been harmed.

“Freedom of expression has its limits, it is not absolute, so even when matters of general interest are of particular importance to society, the rights of others must be respected, including business reputation, and all those who exercise Freedom of expression must respect the law and not abuse freedom of information, otherwise it may be subject to the corresponding legal responsibility for damages caused by illegal acts, ”emphasized the lawyers.

They also added evidence that the company suffered real damage after such a meeting: Grigeo Klaipėda’s share value fell.

Seimas member L. Girskienė called that letter absurd. “I see this as an attempt to intimidate everyone. This is not the first letter that the company’s lawyers have sent me. But I will not forget this story,” said the politician.
