After Saturday, I can say: lie, lie and lie again. Taking MAMA, building red carpets, and running our show business plankton for fun and kissing, she knew exactly what she was doing. He knew very well what the reaction would be when such an event appeared the day after the Prime Minister and Minister’s prayers to be conscientious and civic. <...>“Said A. Tapinas.
People.lt After contacting TV3’s TV manager, Laura Blaževičiūtė, and asking her about criticism of television, she said that she did not see any criminals here and that criticism always appears.
“Everyone is free to criticize according to their conscience. In the meantime, I myself believe that the organizers have taken all necessary measures to ensure safety. The strangest thing is when commenting on people who were not and did not see the real situation, but the organizers, in an effort to ensure safety, were not able to invite all the stars. So I think now those who used to be one of the main guests of these awards are speaking, ”said L. Blaževičiūtė.

Events are forbidden during quarantine, so how did it happen that this event became so exceptional that it became an exception?
“It is impossible to say that it was an event and it is only a derivation. There were no musical numbers, it was like filming the program, “said the interlocutor.
He said that there was no way to consider the MAMA ceremony as an event, because the musical performances did not take place, and what the viewers saw on the screen was just a good job from the organizers, which created the illusion of a massive concert.
“As a TV presenter, I am proud to see how the organizers managed the virtual part of the event by merging it with a live broadcast – after all, no live work was done in the arena. What the viewers saw was all prepared in advance .
Only the nominations were made live, and there were no musical performances: viewers, seeing the final image, could think that it was real, that it took place during the live broadcast. This is a new generation, a new level of television. This magic created that feeling of vitality, of mass. ” People.lt stated L. Blaževičiūtė.

SAM: The event is treated like a television show.
Saturday night’s MAMA awards might have looked like the filming of a television show, but they show a listless approach to quarantine restrictions, the Ministry of Health (SAM) said.
According to Minister Arūnas Dulkis, during a pandemic and under emotional pressure, the burden of responsibility must be shared.
“Each individual is not responsible for the irresponsibility of the other, but each can rely on their own personal responsibility. We can each “bunny” or be the first to take responsibility. “What was the responsibility of the participants of the event yesterday was a question for them,” their representative Aistė Šuksta conveyed the position of the SNB minister.
According to her, the events cannot occur during the quarantine, but it is likely that the MAMA awards were treated like filming a television program, which is not prohibited.
“It is likely that the organizers dealt with the permit or hired it like filming a TV show, and the filming of TV shows is not prohibited. However, we are talking more about the moral background, when many famous Lithuanians who influence the the way other people see and think, and each of us must evaluate through our own prism whether to consider it responsible or irresponsible behavior. “It is more about when others hold on to protect each other, others show apathy.” said a SAM spokeswoman.
