Nausėda: If only Diana Nausėdienė or I were blocked, I would not react

“If only Diana Nausėdienė or I were blocked, I would not react. It is not the first or the last time. However, we are talking about much broader things, so I have no right to remain silent,” the country’s headline wrote excitedly in the social space.

“The day before yesterday, Diana participated in a discussion on the empowerment of women and expressed the idea that the country’s weakened educational system does not benefit from the fact that 79 percent. the teachers are women. They become hostages to the disabled system and little would change if a similar percentage of men worked in schools. Probably the sixth or even the third text comprehension skill would be enough to understand the idea being said, but narrative hunters have translated it into an antithesis about disrespect for a woman’s work.

Understand that the system does not work because it employs too many women. In this way, Diana, who advocates for the empowerment of women with all her being, has become an adversary ”, the head of state offered her assessment of her situation on Facebook.

He was surprised that so many advocates of equal opportunities, other experts, who only saw the collapse of the system but did nothing, got involved in the discussion about the statements of D. Nausėdienė.

“At that time, equal opportunity advocates were already involved, even having discovered manifestations of sexism here. Here it is at least! The labor collectives, who expressed their solidarity and indignation, also responded promptly. So to speak, we did not read the original text, we did not see the conference, but we condemned it. As in the Soviet Union in the 20th century. in the 1970s and 1980s: ‘B. I didn’t read Pasternak, but I want to say … “And what really happened?

The subject of the discussion was cleverly “washed”, replacing the clever problem of equal rights. Who did this? And the same commentators who remained silent for a decade and happily watched as the Lithuanian educational system dug deeper and deeper.

Only now are we trying to get it back on its feet by presenting the whole package of equal opportunity laws. Only for children from families of different social status, “wrote G. Nausėda.

The president wrote on Facebook that it was a public execution.

“Even more disgusting: day and night for human rights, those who do not sleep have carried out a public execution for their mother and wife, for whom they allegedly fight for equal opportunities and self-expression.” A woman who loved my mother with a brilliant memory, a teacher who had worked honestly for decades. The first is one of those 79 percent. I do not appeal to the honor and conscience of those few commentators. You cannot appeal to what does not exist, “wrote G. Nausėda.

At the end of the recording, the head of state addressed “benevolent people who are not indifferent to the fate of the state.”

“The struggle for public space continues. Let us not allow the party of the ’empty drums’ to occupy it, all those who like to publish on noble materials, but do not follow them in their personal lives,” wrote President G. Nausėda.

Diana Nausėdienė, who spoke at the Lithuanian Forum in Davos on Tuesday, spoke about the education system and caused a real storm on social media. In a few sentences, the country’s first ladies managed to move even some very painful Lithuanian problems: gaps in the educational system, gender imbalances in certain areas, and unequal opportunities in the labor market. Speaking about the situation of women in Lithuania, D. Nausėdienė stated that they often join systems in which solutions to real problems are not sought, and raised the question of whether a woman can do something about it.

According to D. Nausėdienė, there is a stereotype that the areas in which more women are incorporated are more successful. However, according to the ladies of the first country, this is negated by the situation of the educational system.

“79 percent work in the field of the educational system. women, but if we look at the indicators of the education system, we will see that the key indicators, those that must grow, are constantly falling. Those that should decline are constantly growing, ”said D. Nausėdienė on the portal. 15min.lt.
