On Thursday, K. Glaveckas took a decisive step and left the faction of the Liberal Movement and went to the Joint Group of Members of the Seimas.
“As my qualifications do not meet the criteria of high liberals, please do not consider me a member of the Liberal Group,” read Paulius Saudargas, Vice Speaker of Parliament, such a brief statement by K. Glaveckas at the beginning of the Seimas evening session.
Liberal comrades warned: the party remains leaderless
In early November, K. Glaveckas congratulated his fellow party members on their good performance in the Seimas elections and warned about the division of positions and greater danger.
“Although the conservatives have obviously won the elections, the paradox is that they are not asking for the most important position in the Seimas: the post of president of the Seimas.
The idea put forward by one of the party elders that this position should belong to the liberal movement is actually contrary to logic and political experience, because the president of the Seimas of a small faction is not in a stable position.
If the president of the party, Victoria, was approved as a spokesperson for Seimas, she must suspend her membership in the party, cannot belong to a faction and be practically separated from the Liberal Movement: the party remains leaderless. Losing a talented, active and beautiful party chairman would be the party’s biggest mistake, “wrote K. Glaveckas to fellow liberals.
As he wrote in the letter, another problem is the successful emergence and design of the Freedom Party in the upcoming elections to seize all the votes of the liberal-minded voters of the Liberal Movement voters.
“The young people who support this party are in many cases innovative, forward-thinking, knowledgeable about digitization, fintech and high-tech technologies, so it is only natural that their preferred Ministry of Economy and Innovation and the president’s charity Freedom Party members can make a big difference, empowerment and choice.
The economic situation in Europe and Lithuania is becoming tense and the risks to economic growth, inflation, borrowing and belt tightening are very high, which will require a very high level of political responsibility on the part of those in the power.
The government’s fight against the coronavirus and convincing the public of the most appropriate measures will be a great challenge in view of what is happening in the neighboring countries of the EU. Therefore, participation in the ruling majority must be weighed well with the responsibilities (ministries) that we must take on and move forward, ”said K. Glaveckas.
G. Landsbergis proposed to leave the position of Speaker of the Seimas
In the letter, K. Glaveckas also presented proposals in the negotiations on the ruling coalition and the program for the Liberal Movement:
“Resign the position of Speaker of the Seimas and agree to the position of First Vice President of the Seimas (candidacy – Spokesperson of the Victoria Party). Support the candidacy of the president of the conservatives G. Landsbergis, who won the elections, as president of the Seimas strengthening their positions in the negotiations on the ministries;
Seek leadership from 3 ministries: Economy and Innovation, Environment, and Home Affairs. These ministries need to fight to the last drop since the coalition is a marriage where interests are stronger than love, it always has been and will be in the future. I think many of us think similarly, but we have not yet managed to put it into words … ”wrote K. Glaveckas.
Gentville: Has not received the position of Vice Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee
Eugenijus Gentvilas, the eldest of the group, told BNS on Thursday that Glaveck had informed him of his resignation before the meeting, and that the resignation could be due to the politician not receiving the promised post of vice chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee. .
“I asked him if he had any complaints,” he said. “No, I don’t have them.” As an elder of the group, I have nothing to do because his will is expressed, he does not automatically remain a member of the group.
Where he’s going, I don’t know, we just had that kind of conversation. Anyway, in the morning he found out that he would not get the position of Vice Chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee of Seimas, it may have to do with that. He said there were other factions when he found out. Although the faction does not share the vice president positions here, “said E. Gentvilas.
