So far, the Labor Party has refused to name who would be more willing to cooperate in the new Seimas and the government.

BNS provides the most important quotes:

Ingrida Šimonytė, leader of the conservative list: “The democratic tradition requires that whoever is most confident at least try to form a coalition.”

Conservative President Gabrielius Landsbergis: “Today we can name a broad coalition as a key task.”

Saulius Skvernelis, the leader of the “Peasants” list: “According to preliminary results, this would look like (coalition): Lithuanian Green and Peasant Union, Social Democrats, Labor Party.”

Viktor Uspaskich, Chairman of the Labor Party: “We will not sacrifice a well balanced program for the good of the offices, it has not been that good in any election. If we cannot include the basics in the overall coalition program, I will campaign to stay in opposition. “

President of the Social Democrats Gintautas Paluckas: “Coalitions are made up of people. If they have distributed mandates to center-left parties and there are more of them here than to the center-right, it is natural for a center-left coalition to form. On the contrary, if the center-right parties have more seats, they will form their own. It would not be natural to have some kind of rainbow, I see no preconditions or reasons for such a situation today. “

President of the Freedom Party Aušrinė Armonaitė: “I think the voters have listened to us, we are happy with the path we have taken and we hope that Lithuania will choose the future of a positive policy.”

Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, President of the Liberal Movement: “It is still a bit premature to talk about coalitions before reaching the final results, but we have had practically no points of contact with” peasants “in the last four years.

Valdemaras Tomaševskis, President of the Polish Election Campaign of Lithuania – Union of Christian Families: “According to the preliminary results, the coalition will be of the center left, but it is difficult to know until the final results.”
