Some parties propose to legalize marijuana, etc. In any case, we will do our best to prevent this from happening.

“If the ruling majority is made up of the three parties mentioned now, it will have only 70 and few votes, so it will be in constant tension and decisions such as the legalization of marijuana will not be possible in this Seimas,” said R. Karbauskis in the morning press conference.

They are determined to support decisions that the new governors will not reverse first, such as child money.

“The future prime minister probably said that they are not going to destroy our decisions about the child’s money, pensions. Hopefully that is the case,” said the peasant leader.

According to R. Karbauskis, the future opposition will support the correct and decisive decisions of the new government: “We will support everything that we think will be correct and resolved. If the future prime minister has not lied, many of the works that we have started and successfully executed will continue. “

“Was it possible to win the election after so much pressure and propaganda? Maybe someone will win it in four years if they can handle it. List three prohibitions that we have adopted. I know I am not going to list those prohibitions, because they were actually clichés,” he said. R. Karbauskis.

He noted that 60 percent. The population supports the prohibition of alcohol, but those who went to the polls were influenced by propaganda, so they spoke of the prohibitions: “We do not understand what we did to call ourselves that.”

When naming the mistakes made, R. Karbauskis affirmed that the situation in Seimas was unstable, so it was not possible to reject the veto on health care reform and other decisions where votes were lacking.
