Maldeikis will ask for an end to the investigation into his insults: he knew there would be all kinds of epithets

“I learned that the police had launched an investigation into the accusations made against me at the rally before Seimas.

I respect the police who do their job. I did not address it myself on this subject. I want to emphasize that I consider that the point that was made to me is the political position of those people. Each of us is entitled to it, “wrote M. Maldeikis on Facebook.

According to him, the threshold of tolerance for criticism for politicians is higher than for ordinary people.

“I have chosen the path of a politician and I have different standards of criticism / dislike towards myself than towards other citizens. As politicians, we have to accept criticism, sometimes on the verge, as part of the position of the citizens. I went to them myself, I knew there would be all kinds of epithets and I accepted them. Therefore, if the investigation continues, I will ask the police to stop it, ”added the parliamentarian.

The Police reported this Wednesday that after evaluating the situation when a member of the Seimas who came to speak at the rallies was publicly insulted and cursed with uncensored words, the police initiated an administrative process for a possible violation of public order (Article 481 of the ANC). .

The Code of Administrative Offenses imposes a fine of between 30 and 140 euros for such an offense (uncensored words or gestures in public places, offensive harassment of people, other malicious acts aimed at violating public order and the seriousness of people).

Delphi He recalls that on Tuesday Maldeikis, who went to the old Seimas rallies to speak, was accused of uncensored words, called a traitor, accused of “selling Lithuania” and urged to “go back to his mother.”

The organizers of the event allowed M. Maldeikis to come to the protest center, where the MP explained his views, but also received hostile words there.
