“The agreement should not be between parties, but between factions. It is difficult for me to imagine it between the parties at the moment, because in fact some of the actions of the chairman of the Labor Party are difficult to understand at the moment. Consequently, I, as president could not sign a document with the chairman of the Labor Party, whose conduct raises many doubts. The situation with the LSDP is also unclear. There is a party chairman, but there is internal controversy over what the party’s policy should be. The election of the senior Social Democrat only made it clear. I do not see the possibility of signing a cooperation agreement between the parties, except between the opposition factions of Seimas, “he said.
According to R. Karbauskis, such an agreement would allow the factions to negotiate a joint opposition program and the role of the opposition leader.
“It is an initiative on our part that the Seimas has an opposition leader. When he was still a member of the Seimas, the president of the Seimas and other members of the Seimas, who represented the ruling majority, lied that the” peasants “could have in themselves An opposition leader themselves. But we cannot because we did not have LVS and we are missing two people. And not only LVŽS has to agree, but also colleagues from Labor and Social Democratic factions. All or at least two opposition groups must agree There is that possibility in the Seimas, and LVŽS really wants the leader of the opposition to appear on the Board of the Seimas ”, R. Karbauskis told Eltai.
According to him, if the agreement could be signed in the spring session, then the leader of the opposition could rotate. R. Karbauskis also made no secret that LVŽS would delegate former Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis to opposition leaders.
ELTA recalls that, according to the Statute of the Seimas, if an opposition faction or its coalition has more than half of the Seimas members belonging to a minority of the Seimas, the largest of that faction or the leader of the coalition is called the leader of the opposition of the Seimas. The leader of the opposition enjoys the additional rights of the leader of the opposition provided for in the Statute, belongs to the Board of the Seimas. In the new Seimas, the LVŽS won 32 seats, the Social Democrats – 13, the Labor Party – 10.
