I.Šimonytė: inaccuracy has crept in
“I was able to confirm almost everything that the esteemed Antanas said, perhaps an inaccuracy just crept in that today there were no agreements to look for other candidates.” The president’s comments were simply made both about the candidates who were already in the meetings with the president and some comments about those who were not, “I. Šimonytė told reporters after the meeting.
He said he heard comments about the candidates, both those the president had met and those he had not.
“We talk about people from different angles and perspectives,” said the politician.
When asked how many candidates raised doubts, I. Šimonytė cut off: “Don’t be mad, I can’t.”
I. Šimonytė said he did not want to give the names of people who were not suitable for the president.

I. Šimonytė emphasized that “rejected” and “expressed doubts” are different expressions, and doubts can probably be expressed about anyone.
Those observations were of different complexity and, say, of different content
“But taking into account that the meetings still take place later, and comments were made on one or the other candidate and those comments were of different complexity and, let’s say, of different content … This is today, protecting the reputation of the candidates and the very process of formation and government ethics. “I will not name them now,” he said.
According to I.Šimonytė, if any changes are made, those changes will be revealed and explained.
“It is always more difficult than easy to find candidates. There are many people who want, but not so much, but the president is going to close the meeting on Friday and then (…) we will have the opportunity to discuss the final decisions,” he said.
