“Currently, we have around 80 registered users, we will have the answers in a day or two, they will depersonalize and we will know the general situation,” V. Čmilytė-Nielsen told reporters on Thursday.

COVID-19 antibody tests will take place in parliament on Thursday. According to the head of parliament, having information about the immunity of members of the Seimas, it will be possible to decide whether to return to the completely normal work of parliament.

“The goal is to better understand the situation, how many members of the Seimas are safe, and one of the constant questions, especially from the opposition, when we return to the normal normal work of the Seimas, when there will be no physical barriers.” in the Seimas, maybe we can organize the voting in a different way. But it is easier to answer this question when we have as much information as possible about the health status of the Seimas members, ”said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.

According to their previous data, there are about a hundred members of the Seimas who have been vaccinated or have expressed their desire to be vaccinated, some of whom have had to postpone vaccination against the coronavirus due to vaccination against encephalitis.

Members of the Seimas, along with ministers and heads of state, were included in the list of priority vaccination groups and were vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine to encourage vaccination with this controversial vaccine.

ELTA recalls that on April 20, the Seimas Conference of Elders did not approve the proposal of the Seimas opposition to return to the normal voting procedure in the plenary sessions of the Seimas, when the vote is carried out separately for each project considered.

At the meeting of the Conference of Elders, urging the Seimas to return to normal work, the vice president of the Seimas “hired” Andrius Mazuronis affirmed that almost a hundred parliamentarians should have immunity. He questioned whether the current voting system, by voting at the appointed time on all the projects considered, met the requirements of the Statute.

The leader of the opposition of the Seimas, Saulius Skvernelis, promised to present a request to the Ethics and Procedures Commission of the Seimas, which will ask to explain if the Statute of the Seimas is not violated.

The first vice president of the Seimas Jurgis Razma invited the parliamentarians to carry out an antibody test, which would help determine “how safe we ​​are.”
