The organizers are determined

During the organizers’ press conference on Monday, Artūras Orlauskas, increasingly involved in politics, was “pleased” that the rulers had finally removed their masks and openly revealed their aspirations and plans.

The organizer of the campaign, Raimondas Grinevičius, did not hide that various obstacles and manipulations were encountered when collecting signatures, but this only brought the society closer together and gathered a large number of signatures in a relatively short time.

Adding to the interlocutor, A. Orlauskas recalled that an open campaign of harassment against those who collect and sign signatures had been started without interruption. It is true that, responding to the question about a possible referendum and the organization of early elections to the Seimas, he replied that this will not be done yet.

Speaking further, R. Grinevičius spoke about the strange position of the Chancellery of the Seimas. According to him, although the Seimas Chancellery was contacted twice regarding the possibility of handing over the collected signatures live, twice they received a negative response. It is alleged that due to the quarantine restrictions still in place, a live meeting with the leaders of the Seimas is not possible, so it was proposed to send the signatures by mail. However, he promised to do everything possible so that the service of the collected signatures is public and alive.

In his comments, A. Orlauskas emphasized that “if the Speaker of the Seimas (Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen – aut. Past) refuses to accept signatures, he will hide, he will” turn his mouth “, (…) we will find the opportunity to increase these signatures to 141. and we will take them to all the members of the Seimas, and if he does not see them, we will open the window. We will find everyone. “

Maybe you had to offer money?

The politician, former Interior Minister Gintaras Furmanavičius, sarcastically assessed Seimas’s reluctance to accept people’s signatures. “It was necessary to offer them 10 thousand. I think they would then have found the opportunity to meet live, the politician joked. – Although, given what is happening in this country, I am no longer surprised by this double standard. Let’s remember when a picket was held at the Russian embassy before the arrest of Alexei Navaln. Then it did not occur to anyone that a multitude of strangers were meeting alive in one place, and now they are under the protection of quarantine. This behavior of the rulers has confirmed once again clearly that it is the politicians who follow a double standard. “

By the way, I had more questions about situations treated differently. “Currently, Antanas, known in society as ‘Celofan’, is trying to show that Vytautas Landsbergis should be penalized for wearing a mask improperly. It shows what fines are actually imposed in Lithuania, but it is not interesting for the police. Good. “I would understand if V. Landsbergis created a ‘social bubble’ with Emanuel Zinger, but this is unlikely,” the former interior minister looked cheerfully at reality.

At the end of the conversation, he also recalled the double standard applied by the systemic media. “He wrote a lot about 700 signatures of” bodybuilders “against Petra Gražulis, and about 365 thousand signatures of citizens against TVRaskevičius are somehow not seen. Lithuania has become a country of double standards and only a blind person can not realize it. “, G. Furmanavičius summed up.
