On the windows of the premises of the company belonging to the municipality of Širvintos: election announcements of the husband and the deputy of Ž.Pinskuvienė

According to V. Sarpauskas, “Our Family Clinic” has been operating in a part of an apartment building on Vilniaus Street since 2013. There is also a show hall, a fishing tackle shop and a bailiff’s office.

Some time ago, a member of the Širvintos District Municipal Council, a member of the opposition conservatives, noticed that the windows of the sheriff’s office were blindly covered with LSDDP election posters.

He noted that the inscription at the bottom of the election poster reads: “Political advertising has been paid for from the electoral account of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Labor Party. Order number. 2020/08 / 13-05. Printed by UAB DUV, 1 pc.

“There have never been advertisements in this place before, much less elections. Surprisingly, I cannot believe that bailiffs are biased and involved in election campaigns and that they advocate for a particular political party. I try to go in and ask, but there is a huge padlock hanging on the door. I remember a note from a sheriff’s office that hung here before, now there’s no information. I verify the information on the Chamber of Marshals website. Here it is announced that “as of April 30, 2020, the powers of the bailiff DK (at his request) are given up,” said V. Sarpauskas.

Do you use administrative resources?

As a member of the Širvintos District Municipal Council, V. Sarpauskas said that he knew that the premises on the ground floor of the high-rise building were rented by the Širvintos Business and Leisure company.

V. Sarpauskas said that according to the Širvintos district municipality website, the municipality owns 100 percent. shares of this company.

According to him, this means that the true owner of these 411 m2 premises, located at Vilniaus Street 43, is the Širvintos District Council.

The opposition politician of the Širvintos District Municipal Council explained that the Local Autonomy Law stipulates that “the Municipal Council exercises its powers in a collegial manner in the meetings of the Municipal Council,” so that not only the Council but also each member of the Council performs the functions of the owner of municipal property.

“Now it turns out that if advertising for social workers hangs on municipal property, then people are free to say that the Širvintos municipality supports and supports social workers, because it allows advertising on their property”, thinks V. Sarpauskas .

Now it turns out that if the advertising of social workers hangs on municipal property, then people are free to say that the Širvintos municipal council supports and supports social workers, because it allows advertising on their property.

V. Sarpauskas asked whether the company Širvintos for Business and Leisure had announced a tender for the lease of premises.

“Was he specifically delayed and kept this property for the elections so that social workers could use it? It may be legal for a party to rent premises from the municipality, I can’t say that. But it’s unethical for Ž.Pinskuvienė’s husband , J.Pinskus, rent a place with Ž.Pinskuvienė in the municipality … (…) Also, there is a deputy mayor on the same list. This is, let’s say, the use of administrative resources “, says V. Sarpauskas.

A member of the Širvintos district municipality requested this story from the Central Election Commission (CEC).

Short term rental

Vaiva Daugėlienė, director of the UAB Širvintos laisvalaikiui ir versloui, said that the mentioned premises belong to the company and not to the municipality.

According to her, the premises are rented for a short-term lease, for 2 months, in accordance with the description of the Širvintos district municipality property rental procedure, approved on July 28, 2016.

“It is part of the lease of the premises on August 17. it was signed with the president of LSDDP, Gediminas Kirkilas. The tenants carry out the activities in the rented premises at their own discretion, ”explained V. Daugėlienė.

Lease contract for part of the premises on August 17. it was signed with the president of LSDDP, Gediminas Kirkilas. Tenants operate on the leased premises at their own discretion.

The stands are gone

V. Sarpauskas also drew attention to the fact that there were no billboards left somewhere in Širvintos, on which everyone could hang ads for free.

According to the curator, there were four tiers, of which now only metal frames remain.

According to V. Sarpauskas, there are no such posts in the villages of Širvintos and Kabalda that surround the city of Širvintos.

“Now people, let’s say, want to hold onto an advertiser for something: a choice, not a choice; there is nowhere, everything, avoided,” he said.

According to Ž.Pinskuvienė, the mayor of the Širvintos district municipality, the notice boards are maintained and are currently being updated by the Širvintų šiluma city management company.

“And V. Sarpauskas, a member of the council, should take care of his own affairs,” said his adviser Aušrinė Miliukaitė-Janovskienė conveyed the words of Ž.Pinskuvienė.
