The minister promised to present documents for the renovation of the house to the prosecutor’s office.
In fact, faced with a smear campaign of this magnitude, no one can doubt that it is apparently very deeply organized. I had to gather documents and explain about the repairs that were carried out not only long ago, 10-12 years ago. It also lasted for several years. Living in a house with my parents now dead. I will submit all available documents to the prosecutor’s office. “We are also explaining the documents that I do not have, but that are mentioned in the application sent by I.

Narkevičius told Seimas Hall about the circumstances of payment.
The Minister of Transport and Communications in the Seimas raised the question of where the money paid for the works went.
“That citizen himself will be able to help law enforcement to resolve this uproar when and for the amount the bill was issued. What bills were still being issued, where was the money paid for the work done. Because I wonder if they were included in the bill and maybe absorbed ”, asked the minister.
The minister praised the charges against the opposition opposition.
“I think that you conservatives and liberals are discrediting the representation of the people, because when you call the Minister of Transport to explain the situation in the transport sector, when I could not attend due to the meetings already scheduled, but I delegated two ministers They noticed that the door was closed. He did not care or care about my publicly available information. (…) I do not intend to resign, due to the questionable reputation of people who not only have a material interest, but they slandered “, assured J. Narkevičius.
Bilotaitė: it is a fairy tale

(…) Currently, the STT has launched an investigation, that is, a serious signal that there is a basis, there is serious information. This means that this is not serious, to try to confuse the whole story, only to confirm that there are very serious suspicions that it is a corruption scheme.

Promises to contact SSD
Ramūnas Karbauskis, president of the Green Union of Peasants of Lithuania, said that more important questions are already arising around this story than those asked of the Minister.
“I think that much more important was the speech by A. Širinskienė before answering the questions that all colleagues should read today’s” Delfi “publication on the situation that developed on this topic.
The facts there are so scandalous that all questions should no longer be asked of the minister, but of those mentioned in those articles. (…) It seems that the people in the interest of other states, acting together with the opposition and the person of the Presidency, acted deliberately, with a purpose and, therefore, in my opinion (for what we will address the SSD today ), a threat to national security. ” R. Karbauskis said.
The appeal to the SSD will be decided by the coalition council on Thursday.
