On the other hand, we are now experiencing a change of government. And that government that is leaving may not be taking or not wanting to take radical steps. A new government could have been formed a little earlier. In such extraordinary conditions, a new government was formed a little faster and was able to make those difficult decisions, ”said A. Avulis on Žinių radijo’s“ Verslo position ”program.

He also criticized the Presidency for the slow approval of ministerial candidates.

“It seems a bit strange when the Presidency so thoroughly discusses the candidates for minister, but she herself does not see that she is trampling on the spot, everything is decided at the last minute, on the last day. It seems really strange. If we set high standards for others, we must always set the same requirements for ourselves, ”said A. Avulis.
