“No, we cannot say that, we see some positive developments, which we certainly have and which we can be happy about,” he was asked if the migration crisis could be overcome if flights from Iraq were stopped and migrants were not allowed to enter. . said G. Nausėda. “In fact, efforts to influence the Iraqi authorities have paid off, and I would particularly mention the efforts of the EU as a united region here.”
G.Nausėda said that the diversion operations are directed against the violation of the border itself, because the requirements imposed by Lithuania for civilized migration are not met.
“These are fully justified and understandable actions, and I see that they are finding acceptance among those states that understand the nature of the challenges we face here,” the president said at a news conference Monday after visiting the SBGS team.
G. Nausėda added that she wanted Lithuanian society to understand this as well. The president thanked border guards on Monday for doing more than required.

The fences wait faster

Asked about the doubts expressed about the guarantee of human rights, G. Nausėda stated that Lithuania would cooperate in the investigation of this and emphasized that it was convinced that we would base our actions on legal acts and a real analysis of the situation.

“I want to make it very clear that if some regimes think that democracies are weak, that democracies are incapable of making operational decisions, I would suggest that they think again. Democracies can defend themselves, democracies can make decisions and they show it. Without a doubt, democracies are superior because they can be united and have a lot of support that Lithuania feels today from all sides, ”said the president.
