See the live broadcast of the Seimas plenary session here:
First, the Seimas committees presented their conclusions on the Government’s activities report.
Almost all supported the document presented by the Cabinet of Ministers. The only Seimas Audit Committee spoke against it.
There was no criticism
Speaking from the rostrum, Ingrida Šimonytė, a member of the opposition Homeland Union-Christian Democrat faction in the Seimas, ironized that we probably wouldn’t know how well we live if we didn’t have to hold the government report from time to time.
“A report that in no way links the resources available to the government to its own goals and at least indicators that measure progress towards those goals. A report where the Government’s achievements do not include only natural phenomena and in which there is no self-criticism or at least self-reflection. The government praises, the opposition criticizes, the Lithuanians say: Who raised the tail of a cat, if not herself? “, Said.

According to I.Šimonytė, this year the consideration of the Government activity report is taking place at a more interesting time. It is more interesting because the “diligent ministerial apparatus” put it all together in one document when it was not expected that the world would be affected by a pandemic and the economy by a crisis.
According to I. Šimonytė, we are considering a painting that does not exist and it is not even clear if it was. In his opinion, we need to talk about what is today and what will be tomorrow. The government does not want to answer these questions, he said, but shoots piar Fireworks.
“It has already happened that a boy often comes to Lithuania and asks a nice and comfortable question. And if any 9-10 year old girl showed up and asked,” How did the government’s work last year help us prepare for surprises? ? Has the tax reform strengthened our economy, our budget, our public sector, our economic policy framework? “It was not even necessary for the economic recession to make clear that the fundamentals of finance are being washed further, and that the pink flamingos are drawing on the side of the state’s obligations,” thinks I. Šimonytė.
It has already happened that a child often comes to Lithuania and asks a pleasant and comfortable question. And if any 9-10 year old girl showed up and asked, “How did the government’s work last year help us prepare for surprises?
According to her, as long as Krisla’s self-reflection is not seen in the government report, even when the situation changes, we have solemn speeches, overwhelmed by our orders and painted medals.
Self assumed everyone’s achievements
Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, the elder of another opposition faction of the Seimas, the Liberal Movement, saw that the Government had acted wisely in the report, naming the achievements of the entire people of Lithuania according to its merits.

The population gained almost 1,500 million. According to the liberal, governors have already started using the euro reserve in the form of generous payments in their electoral campaign.
“Accepting the merits of strangers, as well as appropriating the works of strangers, is commonly called plagiarism. Plagiarism is often of dubious quality. It may be a coincidence, but the work of this government also raises many questions. The quarantine exposed the job failure of this whole term. All major systems are down. The healthcare system survives only because of the wonderful dedication of doctors to their work. They managed not to panic when they were left in the fight against viruses with their own hands, in every way. And only society and the help of companies determined that in the first weeks Lithuania did not panic and chaos “, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen is convinced.
It may be a coincidence, but the work of this government also raises many questions. The quarantine exposed the labor failure of this entire term. All major systems are down.
Rasa Budbergytė, the elder of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party faction in the Seimas de las Seimas, emphasized that in the annual reports, the Government, no matter what, could manipulate numbers and mislead not only parliamentarians, but also the public by listening figures that show nothing.
She said that about 40 to 60 percent of the unsuccessful results remain outside the government report. It is said to have happened this time as well.

R.Budbergytė emphasized that the government, which was in a state of economic boom, had and took the opportunity to please the voters, people who are really deprived, have low and very low incomes, and receive small pensions.
“All we know is that this is a very old song. However, as emphasized by international experts and, above all, the European Commission, which stated in the country’s latest progress report that in any area we take, be it access to medical care, education, the performance of our students, our universities, innovation or science. research: little or no progress has been made in many areas, ”said the Social Democrat.
Little or very little progress has been made in many areas.
Aušrinė Armonaitė, a member of the mixed group of Seimas members, stated that even before the quarantine, half of the members of the Cabinet of Ministers had gone into inactivity.
“Do you see their activities? There is no leadership, no solutions are needed. Well, yes, we see Minister Aurelius Veryga, whose decisions we often ambiguously evaluate. Last week we saw that there is still the Minister Kęstutis Mažeika, who hunts and does it very well, “said the politician under his breath.

A.Armonaitė recalled that in the face of the crisis situation we do not have a Minister of Economy and Innovation. We have the Minister of Education, Science and Sports, but the reform has been carried out by itself, without it, without leadership, the schools have ‘moved’ to the Internet through quarantine.
“As in previous years, this year the government supports and begins its activities with appropriations, benefits, appropriations, lump sums and lump sums. It is simply sharing its grace,” said my opposition spokesperson.
Experts: they bragged somewhere
Economic growth, rising wages and pensions, declining poverty and social exclusion, concerns about the possibility of raising children with dignity, lifting 200 million from the shadows. EUR: Several achievements highlighted in Prime Minister S.Svvernelis’ Government Activity Report for 2019.
