Still, the minister joked that he was used to criticism by now, as he had received comments even before he started running the ministry.
“And when did I not receive criticism? I don’t have it before I start work, “joked A. Dulkys after answering questions from journalists after the president’s annual report.
Evaluating the idea expressed in G. Nausėda’s annual report that leadership was transferred from ministries to self-government during the pandemic, the Minister of Health noted that both the government and municipalities could learn from this pandemic to better cooperate and understand. the possibilities of the local government. .
“A very important message that I have noticed is the relationship between the work of the central government and the municipality. In a sense, I think we should get the best out of each crisis to move forward, to improve. It seems to me that this huge problem has done a good job: it has shown how the central government can work with self-government, and it has also revealed certain opportunities for self-government, ”said A. Dulkys.
The Minister also agreed with the statements of the Head of State on the late decision to relax the quarantine restrictions for the education and culture sectors. However, he noted that this government could have returned these sectors to normal life much earlier if the previous government had been properly prepared for the second wave.
“A very accurate observation about the relatively late return to life in the fields of education and culture. I would like to point out that I also know the reason why this is the case: if at least one center of power had appeared in Lithuania last year, having the right to initiate legislation, it would have secured the evidence in Lithuania, the legislation was the adopted areas could have returned earlier. All these initiatives were launched by the new Government ”, assured A. Dulkys.
ELTA recalls that G. Nausėda pointed out in his annual report that during the last years marked by the pandemic, in his opinion, the leadership shifted from the ministries to self-government.
We are convinced that political will remains irreplaceable. When expert opinions differ, politicians must take the lead. In recent years, we have seen a change of leadership from cabinet ministries to self-government. They are taken by those who see people’s needs on a daily basis and are able to respond to them without waiting for instructions. Those who are not afraid to take responsibility, “said G. Nausėda.
“From the unusual business promotion ideas that made Lithuania famous in the world to the vaccination registration system, all of this was initiated by the people of the municipality, whom I would also like to sincerely thank,” added the president.
