Matijošaitis said in which case he would step down as mayor before the end of his term.

V. Matijošaitis, who is leading Kaunas for the second term, has so far been able to enjoy very strong political backing: the support of Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis and the ruling party. Naturally, these relationships contributed financially to the implementation of large projects that were taking place in Kaunas.

How will the situation change after the Seimas elections, or will the change in the balance of political forces make V. Matijošaitis work with conservatives who have been criticized and ultimately crushed in his city?

“During my tenure as mayor and in the second half of the last term, it was very good working with Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis. I do not look at political convictions, but at the business attitude of people, their business qualities,” he told the media. communication V. Matijošaitis, who voted together with his friend and team members in the Seimas elections.

Asked whether it would be good for the peasants and the Greens to remain in power after the Seimas elections, the mayor of Kaunas, V. Matijošaitis, answered without hesitation.

“It just came to our knowledge then. Kaunas has started many projects, as people say, we all ‘go,’ we build, we do. Anyone who lives in Kaunas or comes to Kaunas sees changes for the better, which is gratifying,” said the mayor.

When asked why he voted, V. Matijošaitis did not hide his vote from his political partners, the Union of Peasants and Greens.

“Of course, for Saulius (Skvernelis – ed.) And for his party. While I know he is non-partisan, that’s not the point. Also, we have delegated four of our people,” Kaunas Unidos “, to the Union of Peasants and Greens “, revealed V. Matijošaitis the secret of his decision to vote.

V. Matijošaitis, leader of Kaunas for the second term, said he did not want to speculate on how these Seimas elections would end for his favorites. He acknowledged the hope that no major changes would occur and spoke of limiting the mandate of parliamentarians.

“Maybe there are no bigger waves, although people always like innovation. I think it’s better to get two terms, and the people who live there and imagine they are towers of the mind really don’t need to. The law should define two. mandates ”, considered the mayor of Kaunas.

What if V. Matijošaitis, who had been crushed by the conservatives in Kaunas, had to work after the elections with a government that could be made up of political opponents and G. Landsbergis could also become its boss?

It seems that such a scenario is likely, and the mayor of Kaunas said he looked forward to constructive cooperation. He hinted that in the event of a confrontation, he could simply leave office before the end of his term.

“It will happen … maybe I will leave this post sooner. I don’t think (G. Landsbergis – ed.) It would be so strange to start waving swords. We have started work. It also has an Island of Science, a two-lane arena of ice and a swimming pool. Prime Minister Saulius was glad that we have completed all the competitions and that work is underway, “said V. Matijošaitis.
