On Thursday, G. Nausėda met with the candidate for Minister of Justice, delegate from the Freedom Party E. Dobrovolska. This is the fourth meeting of the president with the ministerial candidates.
According to the president, the candidate is very brave, determined, willing to implement those changes that are important in the Ministry of Justice. The key question is whether I would have enough experience to implement these changes and enough authority in the legal community, “Presidential aide Antanas Bubnelis told reporters on Thursday.

According to him, G. Nausėda generates expectations in the Minister of Justice regarding a higher quality of legislation and greater leadership of the Ministry of Justice in this field.
“It was an evaluation of the impact of legal acts, a greater participation of the public in the legislation. Much attention has also been paid to a more efficient prison system, its issues of review, resocialization and parole. All of these things would lead to greater public confidence in the judiciary, ”said A. Bubnelis.
The most important planned works
E. Dobrovolska herself said after the meeting that the conversation with the president was formal, both discussed the vision of the candidate and the planned work.
“As the president evaluated our meeting at the end of the conversation, it was one of the most interesting meetings for the president, which is very personal,” Dobrovolska told reporters on Thursday.
Like the president, Ms Dobrovolska emphasizes that one of the main objectives of the Minister of Justice will be to ensure quality legislation.
“We have to talk about looking back at the Legislative Framework Law and not carrying out the planned public consultation. We need to talk and carry out legal impact assessments not only on planned and draft legislation, but also on existing ones”, E. Dobrovolska said.
The issue of resocialization of prisons and penitentiaries was also discussed during the interview.
“We must carefully analyze the Penal Code, whose revision and evaluation would not only reduce the number of prisoners, but would also harmonize values and sentences, as well as implement the rule of law,” he said.
The team members are still under wraps
Ms Dobrovolska says a good team, some of which she has already planned, will help close her legal knowledge gaps and lack of authority. Although she named some of the members of the planned team to the president, the candidate said she could not yet reveal them to the media.
“I spoke not only about work, but also about the team that is being formed, most of which I already have. I presented the president with both the specific names and the visible layout and how those people would respond to the needs of authority, leadership and specific knowledge, ”said E. Dobrovolska.
She confirmed that she was putting together the team herself and had not received any suggestions from the chair regarding potential team members. In addition, according to E. Dobrovolska, the president did not react negatively to the candidates to work in the team.
“I did not get a negative reaction. It is obvious that the president knows some surnames, some perhaps less,” added E. Dobrovolska.
Criticism of tattoos and education
E. Dobrovolska’s candidacy has been publicly criticized, first of all for the fact that a woman has more than one openly visible tattoo, but finally also for her education. E. Dobrovolska obtained only a law degree from Mykolas Romeris University, but not a master’s degree. Also, he failed the bar exam.
On Tuesday, the Seimas approved the appointment of Ingrid Šimonytė as Prime Minister. President G. Nausėda began a series of meetings with all the ministerial candidates.
On Wednesday he met with the candidate for the Minister of Social Security and Labor Monika Navickiene, the candidate for the Minister of Transport Kaspars Adomaitis and the candidate for the Minister of Culture Simon Kairis.
