V. Valentinavičius stated on the radio news program “Events and Comments” on Monday that the constant invitation of Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė’s government ministers to dialogue with the Presidency looks like a public relations campaign, and relations itself they’re changing.
“It just came to our knowledge then. What I. Šimonytė said about the examination of candidates for ministers that the procedure is strange. Now the cooperation with the Government is very strange. The president invites two, three ministers a week, no health only, and he’s interested in what they do, followed by reports from presidential advisers.
Clearly, the Presidency is not doing much to add to what the ministries are doing, it is repeating what the Government is doing. And it seems to be a constant campaign of public relations ”, showed his position in the radio newscast.
He assured that before the approval of the Government, the candidates for ministers were examined, and now the ministers themselves.
V. Valentinavičius recalled the arguments of President G. Nausėda why at the end of last year the “examination” of the candidates for ministers was carried out. According to G. Nausėda, this time we managed not to give in to pressure to make decisions as soon as possible and the time allotted by the Constitution was used effectively.
“It seemed strange to delay the formation of the government for a week during the heat of the pandemic. Now the government sometimes works on weekends, apparently so that ministers have time to visit the Presidency, “said political scientist V. Valentinavičius.
The interlocutor of the “Events and Comments” program said he understood why the Minister of Foreign Affairs was invited to the interviews.
“But when it comes to working with a pandemic, in two weeks G. Nausėda invited as many ministers as Dalia Grybauskaitė had called in half a year, here in different proportions. It is understandable that (guest, aut. P.) The Minister of Relations Foreign Gabriel Landsbergis, here foreign policy, which belongs to the President according to the Constitution. And about all the other questions, what can the president add? “He asked.
Political scientist V. Valentinavičius stated that the analytical forces in any of the ministries are much greater than in the Presidency.
Meanwhile, the president deals with us with such obvious things. Although the declaration in December – the vaccination must have started on December 27. We all knew it had to start that day. After all those meetings with the ministers, the advisor repeats what the minister says and tries to portray that it is an initiative of the president ”, the MRU political scientist V. Valentinavičius did not spare the criticism from the head of country and his team.
He said that in the near future, not the ministers themselves, but the vice ministers, will go to the meetings of the Presidency.
“It seems very strange to me why these ministers go there en masse. We will have time to send the deputy ministers, because the ministers will not have enough time to work, “predicted political scientist V. Valentinavičius on the radio news program” Events and Comments. “
When asked why this is bad, V. Valentinavičius explained that the country’s head G. Nausėda is abusing the Prime Minister’s courtesy.
“Named, but maybe we’re going to work? I think they interfere with work. The president is abusing the courtesy of I. Šimonytė. She is still polite until now, and Saulius Skvernelis would have already said something. (…) But it’s just a matter of time before it does, ”assured V. Valentinavičius.
