“In the public sphere, we see an open display of intolerance on both sides. And it really damages the reputation of the state,” D. Grybauskaitė told reporters after the annual report read by President Gitanas Nausėda in the Seimas.
However, we note that she believed that there were constitutional arguments on the part of the President to maintain the order of representation of Lithuania in the EVS, which had been formed during her presidency.
“In my opinion, constitutional arguments, and I want to mention here that regardless of personalities, like or dislike, constitutional arguments on participation are on the side of the president, and political arguments require constructive dialogue and joint decision,” said D. Grybauskaitė.
Delphi recalls that G. Nausėda confirmed last week that he had written to Prime Minister I. Šimonyte in a letter in which the Head of Government proposed to change the current procedure for representing Lithuania in the EVS. However, the president ignored the prime minister’s call to allow the head of government to travel to EVS meetings, depending on the topics discussed at EU summits.
A few weeks ago, I. Šimonytė stated that he had written a letter to G. Nausėda stating his position on the issue of Lithuania’s representation in the EVS, which had broken out between the Presidency and the Conservatives. As stated by the Prime Minister at that time, her position on the representation of Lithuania, of which she also informed the President, is such that before each EU summit it would be possible to decide who would represent the country, taking into account the content of the questions. .
After the president wrote to the prime minister’s letter, Matas Maldeikis, a member of the TS-LKD faction, described the head of state’s response as a “political jet” without any legal argument,
Already in the spring session, the MP registered a separate law governing state representation in the EVS, but the Conservatives withdrew from the initiative, arguing that the committee’s position was sufficient to address the situation. The initiator of the project himself points out that concrete actions will be discussed with the entire TS-LKD faction, but does not rule out that if the president and prime minister cannot reach an agreement before the next meeting of the EVS in June, M. Maldeikis will return to this project.
