Speaking at the Events of the Week program about the Opportunity Passport, which will begin operating at the end of this month, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen emphasized that it is important to ensure that there are as few people as possible who cannot use it without their own fault.
“The passport of opportunity is a necessary mechanism, but I myself have made several observations that this mechanism should be as non-discriminatory as possible so that as many groups of people as possible can use it,” said the president of Seimas at the show. .
“I think it is important that the antibody test becomes another criterion for obtaining it. As far as I know, the government is already discussing this, “he added.
According to V. Čmilytė-Nielsen, it is obvious that we will live with coronavirus for a long time, so only vaccination can help to return to normal life.
“The main objective is to reach such a part of the vaccinated population that the openings are safe and that people do not die again. The only way to do this is to vaccinate as many people as possible. After that, we can talk about returning to normal life, but the virus will be with us for many years, ”said the president of Seimas.
He also expects the support of the opposition for the Companies Law
According to the president of Seimas, the association bill, announced last week, has not yet been fully drafted, it is expected to also be shown to the opposition factions.
“From the beginning, we communicated that it would probably be similar to the project presented in 2017, which I presented together with Aušrine Armonaitė at that time. That draft that has been made public and confirms it. I did not want to argue too much about a project that is not ready yet. You even have to draw the last lines. I also wanted to show it to the opposition factions and get their comments, ”V. Čmilytė-Nielsen said on the show.
She says she is confident that the project will also receive support from the opposition.
“It would be natural to expect that those groups whose partisan programs have a strong enough human rights element would be able to support such a project. I am referring here to my fellow Social Democrats. Thanks to LVŽS, it now appears that they would not support such a project, but they are commenting Before seeing the final version, it is possible that there are still politicians who change their minds. We will discuss it, “said the president of Seimas.
“I think the presentation stage will definitely be. The association is an initiative that has been on Lithuania’s political agenda for about 20 years. In my opinion, the focus on him is, on the one hand, understandable, but on the other hand hyperbolized. It is simply a necessity to fix the relationships of the adults who live together, to regulate them. It will definitely not take away happiness or rights, nor will it cause risks to other couples, ”he emphasized.
