On the occasion of the anniversary of death – a sensitive album
On Tuesday, followers of M. Varaška’s Facebook profile saw a sensitive memory dedicated to R. Žilinskas, who, according to the author of the post, could have become one of the best Lithuanian politicians.
“It has been 4 years since Rokas Žilinskas left. Why am I writing about this and why today, not Sunday?
First of all, because he was one of the few colleagues at the Seimas from whom he could learn. Not everything and not everything, but enough. The following years proved that, happily, under the circumstances, Rock could have been one of the best politicians in the country. But … It’s been four years. Like a possession of nonexistence.
Second … Because I’ve been surfing, googling, and looking around these days, will anyone remember it in public? Unfortunately. Tylu, ramu. Empty. On the other hand, we cannot be angry: we live forward and feelings are usually occasional and unique. At the same time, it is living proof to us. Whatever we are, after death we will disappear like smoke and we won’t care about anyone for half a year.
Third … Because, especially when monitoring LGBT and related issues today, whip constant statements about the first professional policy: gay, reluctant to oppose. No. Far from the dark to that. Rokas Žilinskas was the first to do it. Clearly named, but never raised homosexuality as the top issue in the state. However, by self-liberation and understanding of society, he did a lot.
Rest, Rokai. We will remember and we will not forget, ”the politician wrote.
