R. Urbonaitė was also caught in the process of “interrogation” of ministers. “The agitation created by so many press conferences was excessive and caused unnecessary tension. I think maybe we could turn faster, ”he said on Delfi Day.
According to her, the president must understand that the executive power is not formed on the basis of the presidential election, but on the basis of the Seimas elections.
“The government depends on the confidence it has in the Seimas, not in the Presidency,” said R. Urbonaitė.
“The margin of maneuver of the president is not unlimited here, the rulers can also express their opinions and oppose the president in principle,” he added.
R. Urbonaitė emphasized that, in general, the powers of the president to influence the work of the Government are minimal.
“The president must not only be the ‘notary’ who places the parachute and the seal, but on the other hand he cannot bend the stick. The government must be the one for which the rulers assume responsibility and the prime minister has been appointed, ”said the political scientist.

Professor Šarūnas Liekis from Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) agrees that there were grounds for rejecting the candidates.
“In Lithuania, there is a tradition that the public administration sector is viewed negatively: anyone can control the state,” said the political scientist.
He recalled that on November 29, 2016 the composition of the Government had already been approved, although at that time, according to the political scientist, the Government was formed somewhat differently.
“The presidency and the prime minister coordinated practically all the candidates, and the presidency had not only the ministers of National Defense and Foreign Relations, whom they submitted to the government, but also several other people who were considered almost appointed by the presidency . In this case, we have a different mechanism, where the coalition itself consults, nominates candidates for the presidency and the president is in the role of evaluator, ”Š said. Liekis.
According to R. Urbonaitė, the behavior as it was in 2016 is not appropriate either.
“It simply came to our knowledge then. The ministries cannot be handed over to a president who did not participate in the Seimas elections, they must be coordinated and the responsibility for this must be assumed first of all by the rulers,” the political scientist emphasized in the program. Delfi Day.
The president on Friday rejected the candidacies of the ministers of Transport and Agriculture. The Freedom Party nominated Kaspars Adomaitis to head the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and the Conservatives nominated Dalia Miniataitė to the Ministry of Agriculture.
