Asta Skaisgirytė, Advisor to the President on Foreign Policy, confirmed such deliberations on the 15min.lt portal.
“It is under consideration,” A.Skaisgirytė said, but did not elaborate on possible proposals.
“The president is very clear about his point of view, which is, of course, political, not yet legal, that politicians or former politicians must make certain decisions before entering the civil service career. He should not be required to be able to obtain another position immediately after becoming a minister, which is the position of representing the entire state, ”said the adviser.
Last week, President G. Nausėda stated that he did not intend to appoint former national defense and foreign affairs ambassadors Raimondas Karoblis and Linas Linkevičius as ambassadors, as they needed a period of “political cooldown”.
According to the head of the country, a pause after the inauguration is necessary to depoliticize the diplomatic service.
A. Skaisgirytė told the portal that a person who worked as a minister will not necessarily be a good ambassador. According to her, a good characteristic of the head of a diplomatic mission is apolitism.
“An ambassador, being a diplomat, is a statutory public official. He must comply with the statements of the president and the government,” said G. Nausėda’s adviser.
“The president can appoint ambassadors to people whom he trusts a lot, who are professionals. There are more people like that than former ministers, “he added.
Motivated by “political coldness”, the president refused to allow former Interior Minister Eimutis Misiūnas to return to the post of judge.
