“I trust the minister. Do I have any comments for him? Of course,” the head of government told News Radio on Thursday.
However, the Prime Minister made no specific comments.
“The comments are probably comments that are made to the minister, not on the air,” said I. Šimonytė.
She also said she was misguided that the “Other Talks” program had not been flagged as commissioner, but was pleased that the advisor to the minister who had made the mistake had taken responsibility.
“The story of ‘Different Talks’ seems to me that it is worth discussing only what was done wrong, because the show itself, both in terms of audience and persuasion, as well as the interlocutor, is really worth mentioning. It was wrong not to mark the program and obviously it is a violation. “There really didn’t have to be such a thing, and the person who committed this negligence took responsibility,” the prime minister said.
“It seems to me that the main problem is that you pay a lot of attention to things that are small enough. “Yes, the people who made the mistake of ‘Other conversations’ are very bad and I am very happy that the person had enough sense of responsibility and decency to leave, considering that the mistake is causing reputational damage to the Minister,” he added. .
Recently, the Ministry of Health has been criticized for signing a contract with the producer for the program “Other conversations”, which includes the participation of the minister’s public advisor, surgeon Edgar Kulikauskas, known as a cynical surgeon.
The program filmed in September was not marked as ordered.
In the event of a scandal, the creators of “Other Conversations” and the ministry announced that there would be no payment for the program. With taxes, it had to cost 12 thousand. euros.
Aistė Šuksta, the communications adviser to Health Minister A. Dulkis, resigned a little later and said she regretted the negative reactions caused by her decisions.
