We were not the favorites in this election, but we managed to spread the message that the idea of positive politics is possible in Lithuania, says the chairwoman of the Freedom Party Aušrinė Armonaitė.
“We have also shown that education can become the most important issue in the state,” he told a press conference held at the Palace of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania on Monday morning.
A. Armonaitė stressed that another round of elections was expected.
“This is not a final yet, we will have another important final in the second round. Then you should speak. It is clear that we want to implement our priorities in the fields of education, human rights, the economy and the environment.
But we certainly will not come to power at any cost and will sell our souls for chairs. Let’s see how it will be in the second round, “he said.
A. Armonaitė said that the general tone in the state should be changed.
“More trust in people, more optimism. Less research on who did what 10 or 15 years ago. This certainly wouldn’t be the case. Clearly, the biggest bans were clear, pushing the media into a corner, the LRT research, everything. sorts of things. Alcohol bans need to be reviewed, “he said.
The president of the Freedom Party said there were ideas that should be implemented immediately.
“It may be necessary to work in opposition. Then the changes that people voted for us will be slower. But we can guarantee that we will do everything possible to represent them.” This is unprecedented support for the new political force and our candidates, ” He said.
A. Armonaitė also stated that “the future is liberal.” “Public opinion polls show changes in the value system,” he explained.
Inserted by Karbauskis
A. Armonaitė said that it is difficult to imagine a coalition with the Lithuanian Green and Peasant Union.
“We have opposing political opinions, at least we have seen it in the Seimas for the last four years. These are people who want to rule Lithuania from high ranks, we are people who want to cooperate in politics and have more openness and positivity.
These are our assumptions about how we see politics as different. The way we look at people is also different. I would like people to control the power they have chosen. R. Karbauskis wants to control people’s lives because he was elected. This is a fundamental difference, which is then reflected in practical decisions in the state, “he said.
In turn, the representative of the Freedom Party Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius stated that the results of the first round send a message that politicians had forgotten about some groups in society.
“The support will ensure that these issues are constantly discussed, that they are not neglected,” he said.
Artūras Žukauskas, who participated in the press conference, confirmed that he would agree to become Minister of Education.
“I have experience and I will take on that responsibility,” he said.
