Karbauskis: Nobody will change my decision.

“It just came to our knowledge then. We demand what belongs to the largest opposition party. Not representing in the leadership of the Seimas is the first case of its kind in the history of Lithuania, the other issue is that the Audit Committee was always at the disposal of the largest opposition party.

It was led by Šimonytė during the last term and we thought it was a matter of respect for the opposition. But there is no culture or tradition for this ruling majority. He probably considers us dogs and consequently after our actions on Thursday it will end. I really hope so, ”says R. Karbauskis.

When asked if Rima Baškienė’s candidacy for vice-presidents of the Seimas had not been considered, the interlocutor simply reiterated that Aušrinė Norkienė had full support.

“The faction makes decisions by voting together and Aušrinė Norkienė had absolute support,” replied R. Karbauskis. “There is no reason to talk about other candidates, because decisions have already been made.”

The decision will not change

When asked if he would change the decision anyway if the governors offered the required positions, the politician assured that no one would change the decision anyway.

“I do it anyway, because everything that happens in the Seimas is not going to end. Now that we have been ridiculed and probably ridiculed by our constituents, we really did not expect such intimidation, because we ourselves voted for the President of the Seimas, not really we have no problem forming this ruling majority.

And returning to the situation by my own decision, is not that I will have to resign every Thursday? There will be another situation again and they will say again that Karbauskis is preventing them from living, breathing and doing good. Let them do those good works. As president of the party, I have many other jobs ”, assured R. Karbauskis.

“Those who know me know that I do what I say,” added the politician.

Karbauskis: I can lose

When asked to comment on some public opinions that R. Karbauskis does not know how to lose, the politician assured that it really pays to lose.

“It just came to our attention then. I have played checkers since I was little and I know how to lose. Not all running backs, chess players or anyone who plays sports in any other field can afford not to lose.

Wanting to win and being able to lose are two different things. Everyone who does something wants to win, but if they fail, they keep doing something to succeed, ”said R. Karbauskis, farmer leader R. Darbi Day.

Karbauskis: we have not heard any proposal from the future prime minister on the crisis of coronavirus management

Farmers had also been widely criticized for allegedly delaying taking tougher measures against the coronavirus, with the main reason for the elections.

“I really want to see what this government does differently. And I can negotiate that nothing will be done otherwise. We did everything we needed and could, and in this situation, since we do not have a closed country, we have a virus that is shared between communities. Inevitably, it is as it is. If someone says they know how to do otherwise, let them tell you.

We have not heard from any new government or future prime minister any suggestions on how the situation will change. Communicate differently? What does it mean to communicate differently? It is not the minister, but the prime minister, who will inform you about the number of diseases, that will not change anything. If they want to introduce emergency aid, curfew, then I think this government will not do it, because it will not change anything, it will only make the situation worse. If they start to reduce the bans during the coronavirus crisis, it will worsen the situation, so they will do nothing, “says R. Karbauskis in the program.

When asked if the situation should be hardened, the interlocutor believes that the closure of chains or retail stores is really no one planning.

“I don’t think we should try to close those retail chains, stores and the like because that will not improve the situation, but we will simply stop the economy. Even so, Europe has chosen not to apply the quarantine that it applied in the spring, ”says R. Karbauskis in the program.

Speaking about the focus of the coronavirus in the Seimas, R. Karbauskis assured that the liberals must assume a great responsibility.

“Why do we have to sit in the hallway, why can’t we work in offices? I do not get it. The coronavirus outbreak in the Seimas was formed due to the liberal decision. Apparently they celebrated the election of the new Speaker of the Seimas on Friday and we have what we have, ”Ramūnas Karbauskis said on the program.
