Bronius Bradauskas, a former politician, shows the results of his work in recent weeks. Only his colleagues ask why these works are in the courtyard of the Seimūnas farm and not in parliament. Of the 30 plenary sessions held during the quarantine, the Social Democrats attended only a few and visited them briefly.
“People over 65 have to sit at home and not go anywhere. The whole world is called that. I already thank God,” says Social Democrat Bronius Bradauskas.
Bradauskas justifies that it only diligently follows the recommendations of the doctors. The politician says he has vascular problems and is therefore afraid of being infected with the coronavirus. According to Bradauskas, he spent a month watching the apartment, because someone from the neighbors got sick with Covid-19. So, going to the farm, where the fresh air is, is a real refreshment.
“You can imagine, I sat in the apartment with my recharge for a month. I couldn’t even go out in the hall. It’s possible to go crazy,” says B. Bradauskas.
The members of the Economic Committee missed Bradauskas more. It is possible to attend committee meetings remotely, but Bradauskas’ colleagues also did not see it on the computer screen. Member of the Seimas Bronislovas Matelis explains that once in the committee they missed a vote before the quorum and the bill almost reached the Seimas room.
“You could really force yourself to learn how to connect remotely, it’s not too difficult, and attend a remote meeting. People have chosen you, you have held this position,” says Seimas member Bronislovas Matelis.
Bradauskas says there is no internet on the farm.
“I follow all the meetings on television and see everything that is happening,” said B. Bradauskas.
The party’s decision to ignore the meetings is not endorsed by its bank friend Algirdas Sys.
“It just came to our attention then. Modern technological tools must be used. The work of the Seimas has not been suspended and a member of the Seimas must participate in the sessions. This is our main work,” says Social Democrat Algirdas Sys.
By the way, Bradauskas teaches that he has discovered a type of alternative to work with voters. Since there is no risk of contracting the virus in the car, he says he has mixed Lithuania well.
“I made a big circle around Lithuania. It is very interesting to see how cities and towns are managed. And I grabbed a piece of Samogitia, Marijampolė ”, says B. Bradauskas.
To allow the Sejm to work in the regions, they receive money for parliamentary expenses, around 700 euros per month. It was from them that Bradauskas poured fuel and changed tires. He also receives a salary of a couple of thousand euros. No one will reduce his salary for not attending the sessions, because the Seimas member informed the Ethics and Procedures Commission that he will not go to work because he belongs to the risk group. And this is considered a justifiable reason during quarantine.
“The Seimas Statute talks about reducing wages, but in the event that a Seimas member misses half the sessions per month and misses them without justifiable reason. Only in this case is it possible to reduce the salary”, says Justė Radzevičiūtė-Laugalienė, a representative of the Seimas Chancellery.
“It just came to our attention then. Many do not attend meetings under such conditions, but the meetings are lost altogether. Business trips somewhere, the state is wasting money,” said B. Bradauskas.
“Mr. Bradauskas never had discipline, discipline, he did not attend sessions in advance of the Seimas. He exchanged part of the plenary sessions to rest in his apartments in Turkey,” says commentator Tadas Ignatavičius.
The critic is ironic that if the majority behaved like Bradauskas, there would be no reason to end the Seimas session.
“Some people come to the Seimas for some reason, participate in sessions, as if they were taking risks. And Mr. Bradauskas rests on the farm, enjoys nature, peace, maybe hunting and sees no problems on his own. This does not it is equality ”, says T. Ignatavičius.
Bradauskas has been working at Seimas for the fifth term. It is true that this time he was sworn in less than a year ago, when he replaced Juozas Olekas, elected to the European Parliament.
