According to K. Mažeika, a member of the LVŽS faction, the first steps towards economy cars should not start in society, but in the Government: members of the Seimas are transported with the opposite of pollution reduction: 15-year-old cars . with a 3-liter engine.

“The Minister of the Environment himself has an electric car, but on his way to the highway he gets on a 2.5-liter diesel bus and continues his journey with it. Let’s not fool people into setting a very good example, let’s start with ourselves (…) Get your minister out of the diesel bus with which he travels in the districts, we get the members of the Seimas, the president, the prime minister. minister so that we can drive electric cars and then we can start going to the people ”, says the member of the Seimas.

TS-LKD party member K. Masiulis was not very categorical, but he saw loopholes in the logic of the car pollution tax: If retirees were exempt, family members would start registering their cars in their name.

“It just came to our attention then. I agree that something needs to change to prevent cars from polluting so much. Still, the new requirements are worrying: won’t we put the most vulnerable social groups at a disadvantage? A polluter, a Old and little driven car (to the doctor, to the market on Sundays) is owned by a man who lives in the village. Now we will take that underused car and tax it for a person with a low pension. If there are reservations and the pensioners do not pay I’m afraid that someone else will register on behalf of the pensioner ”, considers the member of Seimas.
