“It is that if the majority factions of the Seimas have any other idea of how decisions will be made, how the quarantine will be handled, what decisions will be followed and under what conditions, of course, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for the government to function. This is how I understand responsibility, for what you do. And if for those people who have to support you since we formed the Government, it seems that you need to do something completely different, probably other people should assume that responsibility. It is not about threats. or other debates of a similar genre, it is either about trusting the logic of the Government’s action – of course listening to comments, criticisms, arguing for different points of view, but really if I felt that the group did not support For me, the The main question would be how to continue working, ”the Prime Minister told LRT Radio in an interview.
At the same time, I. Šimonytė assured that he does not feel pressure in the faction, but “typical fatigue of the whole society”.
An emotional person but not angry.
Even before the oath, I. Šimonytė mentioned emotionality as his main weakness.
“It will probably be necessary to strongly control one’s tendency to have a fever sometimes or to say something louder,” LNK Žinios reminded me.
Colleagues are familiar with these characteristics of I. Šimonytė’s character.
“He doesn’t try to control his emotions too much and shows a certain artificiality,” Jurgis Razma said.
“It seems to me that we have a lot of emotional politicians in our group,” said Paulius Saudargas.
Still, it seems that sometimes the prime minister is governed by emotions. It is said that in half a year in power, she has repeatedly let conservatives know that if it is not as she should, she will resign as prime minister. Then the whole government would collapse.
“It just came to our attention then. But it seems that Prime Minister I. Šimonyte, her character, is so obsessed with her. Such threats and ultimatums do not necessarily turn into what is threatened,” said Tadas Ignatavičius, the Lietuvos reviewer. Rytas.
According to the reviewer, one of the last tensions in the faction was due to the quarantine. Some members of the Seimas pressured the Prime Minister to relax some restrictions. That’s when I. Šimonytė made it clear that if a third quarantine had to be announced, the Conservatives could do it without it.
“Members of the group have suggested both softening and tightening something. This is a debate. But there have never been such categorical requirements. The faction supports the Prime Minister quite unanimously,” said J. Razma.
One of I. Šimonytė’s first outbursts of anger was in December, ten days after he was sworn in. The Seimas, including some conservatives, voted in favor of increasing the salaries of the staff of the Chancellery of Parliament.
“Such cynicism probably did not yet exist in this country,” shouted a politician from the Seimas rostrum.
After that, the members of the conservative Seimas were blocked by I. Šimonytė.
“They even apologized to the prime minister for bringing them here somehow,” said T. Ignatavičius.
J. Razma calls it I. Šimonytė’s warning speech.
“It just came to our attention then. There was even a proposal, if some people know how to better manage finances by voting so freely, they may want to replace the government,” recalled J. Razma.
Since the government meetings are broadcast live, the tensions were also seen in public a month ago. Conservative leader Gabriel Landsberg had doubts about the mandatory tests and the end of the urgently convened meeting was awkward. I. Šimonytė interrupted him.
Conservatives interviewed by LNK Knowledge say the emotional mood at the party is normal. It is said that there is an ongoing debate.
“It is difficult for me to appreciate any outburst of emotion. We politicians also like to speak vehemently. I will not hide, our party has always had a very open discussion. There have always been discussions, ”said P. Saudargas.
According to the political scientist, the tension due to the prolonged quarantine does not add to the good emotions. And the members of the Seimas and the Government speak from different positions.
“The members of the Seimas speak freely, criticize and propose solutions. The government must make decisions and take responsibility for them,” said Saulius Spurga.
I. Šimonytė has said that he is an emotional person but not angry.
“That sometimes overwhelms me, or very big emotions, it may not cause as much stress for other people, because people may accept it more as a sign of survival,” he said.
