Šimonytė: I apologize to those who expected a miracle

In the post, the prime minister highlights that the year was unusual for everyone and, unfortunately, marked by losses. I. Šimonytė also thanked voters for their confidence.

“I have never tried to behave like everyone else, as my mother dreamed of being a ‘girl like a girl’, that is, I would write calligraphically, I would like to download mankins and jockeys and mandatory instrument lessons. Usually it seemed like he had nothing more to say on December 31; It is so good to start a new life from any Wednesday.

Still, this year was not just any. Not for the world, not for Lithuania, not for me personally. Marked with discoveries and losses that were more than what would have been more or less. Since the election, I have not had a chance to sit down and thank you for the confidence you have shown. Probably mainly because that trust is not just a word to me, I feel it, I carry it and I am afraid of not holding on to every moment with a string of ambiguous answers to difficult questions.

It’s not that it’s terrible to lose power, it’s terrible to break the ball of stairs that so many different people have placed their different hopes on. So it always seems like the words might not be the ones you could use to describe everything. But I am backed by faith and trust: the citizens, the team, in the end, the ability to simply acknowledge that something has gone wrong.

We do not start where we would have dreamed or where we dream.

The harmonious truth of life forces each meeting and each meeting to consider the modalities of the quarantine regime. But, with the help of citizens and science, and with some success, I hope that the discourse will also change. And we will get closer to what we want to talk about the most: the future of Lithuania.

Today, I thank everyone: those who have worked, are working and will work, who have helped, are helping and will help us to be as calm as possible in critical times. I ask for everyone’s understanding and patience.

I apologize to those who expected a miracle, that nobody and what was promised.

We talk a lot about normal politics during elections. In addition to bullying, swan milk and other extremes. I want to believe that next year we will have at least one more or less normal year. Next year we will take steps to recover from covidium and begin to address its consequences. The year we will turn the lessons learned into a lasting experience.

I apologize to my fans because there won’t be many of me here. It won’t be because I’m here, not in the public relations department. I’ll be as far as I can tell But all together, wherever we are, we will try to be open and audible.

Normal year! “Writes Prime Minister I. Šimonytė.
