No ministerial order can do that, especially an institution A member of the Seimas must fulfill his functions, regardless of the misfortune that shook the country.His service to Lithuania cannot be limited by decisions of lower instances.

The president of Seimas promises to organize a debate with experts on this situation in the coming days. Both with the law and with health.
“The Seimas is the main representation of the Lithuanian people. Interference in their work by eliminating members of the Seimas is a threat to the Constitution.

We must respect the most important law of the land and not set a precedent that paralyzes our Parliament so easily, ”said V. Čmilytė Nielsen
The president of the Seimas was also criticized by the acting Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga.
