The conservative candidate for prime minister I. Šimonytė commented on the deliberations of the country’s leader, Gitanas Nausėda, that after the Seimas elections it should not be observed that the formation of the government should be entrusted solely to the party that won the elections.
However, Lithuania is a democratic country, there is a certain tradition of democracy, which I would say that the proposal to form a government should be directed to those people who receive the most confidence in the elections. And if someone doesn’t stick with that government, then of course how many other scenarios can there be, ”I. Šimonytė said on Saturday.

When asked if the winning party would be the first to form a government after the elections, BNS G. Nausėda said in an interview this week that “we should probably not consider that it should be a representative of the winning party.”
“The government of Latvia is currently headed by the party leader, who is certainly not in the first, second or even third place, and he is leading quite successfully,” said the president.
According to I. Šimonytė, in this case the head of the country probably considered the theoretical possibilities based on the analyst’s previous experience.
“But you have to keep in mind that when the president is already speaking, not an analyst or an expert, then the statement that may seem correct in itself sounds like a certain position. “… It seems to me that we should not talk about theoretical cases, but about the position of the president as head of state,” said the parliamentarian.
Called not to be afraid to admit mistakes
At the TS-LKD Extraordinary Congress on Saturday, I. Šimonytė called for strengthening mutual trust, keeping our word and not being afraid to admit mistakes “or the fact that we just don’t know much.”

“Nepotism, corruption, non-transparent agreements, power instead of service, flows and the division of ministries always hurt like open wounds. Just as the low prestige of the Seimas and politics hurts. To demand from others we pay. But let’s also dare to be picky about ourselves, because so far few have really tried. “Let’s promise ourselves, first of all, that in case of reasonable doubts about the activities and decisions of any of us, the voice will not remove responsibility,” he added.
