Meanwhile, another well-known registered lobbyist – Šarūnas Frolenko, on his social network on Wednesday Facebook He shared his thoughts on what he thinks about the so-called lobbyist corruption scandal.

He says he sees the struggles of interest groups in the pre-trial investigation that has begun, and calls the actions of law enforcement officers not the fight against corruption, but the fight against democracy.

“I will tell you what I think. First, it scares me. Restrictions on stakeholder participation in decision-making are not a fight against corruption, it is a fight against democracy. I am truly appalled at the type of interest representation regulation that will be adopted to take advantage of this situation.

I sincerely fear that people who avoid communication and think they know everything will take advantage of the scandal and adopt a regulation that will further reduce their opportunities to participate in the legislative process and be heard. Decision makers should be as open as possible, not be afraid and not avoid lobbyists, interest groups and simply other people, but engage in dialogue to be able to listen, listen and choose, “says lobbyist Š. Frolenko

Continuing with your thoughts, Š. Frolenko says that what is presented in public space as a possible criminal act by LVK President V. Sutkus, in his opinion, is only a matter of internal ethics of the Confederation of Entrepreneurs.

“Secondly, I am angry. He is angry, because it seems to me that the application of the law, with all its rights and powers and in a demonstrative way, solves possible internal problems of an association. According to the information I see, the police seek to criminalize a situation that, in my opinion, is a matter of internal ethics of an association. If a person, who acts as head of an association, has personally received income, it is a conflict of interest that must be resolved by the association itself “, you write. Frolenko
