“It just came to our notice then. I am simply grateful for the proposals that have been made and for the decisions that have been made in the past, involving the shadow Prime Minister.
But in this situation, I think there is a suitable solution. The party president must always fight for a real position, that is, to be the prime minister. Now other people, perhaps who have had a lower workload for four years, can remain in the shadow government, “S. Skvernelis told reporters in the Seimas on Thursday.
At the same time, the former prime minister emphasized that he was not unconditionally committed to being “real or shady” all the time.
He explained politely, rejecting with some arguments the proposal to become the prime minister of the government in the shadow of the LVŽS.
When asked about the main arguments for the refusal, he said that he thought it might be necessary to try to form a government in the shadow of a coalition of the opposition Seimas factions. S. Skvernelis explained that a political party is unlikely to form a cabinet of ministers in Lithuania.
However, LVŽS decided to form a separate shadow government.
S. Skvernelis explained that he is a parliamentarian, he likes to work in the Defense and National Security Committee of the Seimas. He is also a member of the parliamentary group of LVŽS. In addition, he promises to register bills for the spring session of the Seimas.
Would you like to be the leader of the opposition of the Seimas?
“Let’s realistically see that even after this step, it will probably be even more difficult to do it, because, as I said, there are enough differences and valuations. And let’s not forget one essential thing: both the Social Democrats, the Labor Party and the LVŽS are, in principle, competitors for the same voter. There may also be fears from other smaller opposition factions that they will be less visible or overshadowed in the shadows, “commented S. Skvernelis.
He promised to instruct S. Skernelis
The president of LVŽS resigned from the mandate of a member of the Seimas in November Ramūnas Karbauskis had said that he would instruct S. Skvernelis to form a shadow government..
“We will form a shadow government, we will have a program for that government. Our government, I can guarantee you, will be much stronger than the government that will be real. In practice, they are afraid of it. But I will only say one thing: my departure. it will not change that, because I am the president of the party. And the president of the party makes a proposal, in this case, to S. Skvernelis, to form a shadow government. He is not a member of the Seimas R. Karbauskis, he is not the eldest of the R.Karbauskis faction, but the party president, ”said the president of the LVŽS.
