K. Glaveckas said that choosing a room, meetings and ordinary discussions is a tradition that, according to him, should not be broken.

“Parliament itself was created so that people could come together, those who were delegated on behalf of the nation, and speak. Five hundred years of tradition.
As far as we are concerned, the Constitution has not revoked the powers of our Seimas members or the possibility of us participating in the Seimas session. In virtually every country in the European Union, with the possible exception of Israel, <...> may [parlamentarai] sit back, talk and discuss in the room, because without debates there is no parliament at all, ”a Seimas member told reporters at Seimas on Tuesday.
K. Glaveckas: the procedure is bad, inefficient
According to him, joining to attend a remote meeting takes a long time, and the meeting itself continues: “If the simplest question now takes two minutes, then in a live meeting it takes 20 or 30 seconds. First of all, the work itself is ineffective. “
Among other things, telecommuting, according to K. Glaveckas, will not protect against COVID-19.
“Most of the members of the Seimas sit in offices of three or four, with masks and the situation is not much better,” he said.
Most of the Seimas members sit in offices of three or four, wearing masks and the situation is no better.
The Seimas Board decided to hold remote meetings after the coronavirus spread in the Seimas.
“The constitution is higher than the decision of the board. The Board cannot deprive the members of the Seimas of the right to participate in the session, register and participate in the discussion of topics. If it is deprived of such right, in my opinion , the Constitution is violated ”, explained K. Glaveckas.

Asked why, like other members of the Seimas, they do not agree to connect through a computer
“I joined, but no in both complicated … not complicated, but a bad procedure. Ineffective. I don’t see any reason for everyone to work from computers now. I don’t want to work from a computer, ”said the politician.

He is convinced that the Seimas could work in a mixed way, both from the Chamber and from other places:
According to K. Glaveckas, the Seimas could not opt for ordinary sessions except in case of war.
V. Oak: the system can be manipulated
“I agree with all the thoughts expressed by Professor Kęstutis. The fundamental right is the Constitution, the Board cannot contradict what the Constitution guarantees,” V.Ąžuolas told his colleague at the Seimas.
He did not rule out going to the Constitutional Court: “We will probably have to go to the Constitutional Court and ask ourselves why our rights are being restricted.”
The politician also suggested paying attention to the meetings of the Seimas committees, when its members in the cabinets can elect both directly and participate remotely.
“There is a guaranteed right, and now the board has decided to take that right out of the hall,” said the deputy.
“Laws may or may not be approved, considered or not by a single vote. Consequently, to this day, as a member of the Seimas, I have been deprived of my right. I can’t go to the room and vote, ”he continued.
When asked why he could not participate in the meeting using a computer, V.Ąžuolas replied that the teleworking system could be tampered with.
“It just came to our knowledge then. I saw perfectly well how the system can be manipulated. An assistant can be placed on the computer, a photo can be added, a code can be entered and the assistant can vote for a member of Seimas”, assured the member of the Seimas.
