Virgis Valentinavičius, a political scientist at Mykolas Romeris University (MRU), says the government is still fulfilling its main task.
“Somehow we all forget that in December, when this government took office, the number of illnesses per day was close to 4,000. Now it has been reduced to 400-500 per day.
This Government inherited Lithuania in a very difficult situation and had the thankless task of learning to work to overcome the crisis, which was several times more difficult than the one faced by the Government of Saulius Skvernelis in the spring, “said V. Valentinavičius at the show “Delfi diena”.
“The main task has been solved so far, the pandemic is under control at this stage, but we have growing tensions due to commercial interests, gaps in the coalition, different messages between ministers,” he added.
V. Valentinavičius, like other experts, has comments for the Cabinet of Ministers regarding the communication.
“Obviously, Mr. Dulkys, coming from the State Audit Office, does not fully understand the importance of providing information quickly and managing the supply of information. Now, the Ministry of Health is lagging behind on many issues, whether in response to the statement of the president or someone else. The planned work, which provides all the necessary information to the media representatives, is not visible, “said V. Valentinavičius.
He is surprised by the critical position of the President towards this Government and the Minister of Health.
“It is surprising that the president had little opinion about the previous administration’s handling of the pandemic.”
“Perhaps this also explains why Dulkys is sometimes too cautious, wants to make sure and is afraid to make decisions,” said the political scientist.
Lauras Bielinis, a political scientist at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), says that in a hundred days we have only seen a few ministers and a prime minister of the Government.
He also agrees that the speeches of both the prime minister and the ministers are highly inconsistent.
“People who listen a lot are confused, scared, or don’t know what to do at all, because one day they say one thing, another day decides otherwise,” said L. Bielinis.
However, even in his opinion, the government’s activities in managing the coronavirus are quite effective.
“It is probably not worth criticizing the government too much for the pandemic, because its management is not just a government issue. It is the conscience of the whole society, the attitude towards illness. [reikalas]”, – said the political scientist on the program” Delfi diena “.
