Earlier, conservative prime minister candidate I. Šimonytė has said that in the new government the prime minister would be responsible for managing Covid-19. However, S. Skvernel criticizes his idea.

“We just have to take our current laws and read them. If you are already preparing to become head of government, you need to know very clearly who can be the head of the operation. The law states that a member of the government can be a member of the government. The Prime Minister is a member of the Government, for the responsibilities and functions of the Operations Manager, consult Aurelius Verygos.

If the prime minister has the opportunity to make dozens of statutes, especially in the field of health, every day, around 11-12. At night they arrive, I have no idea … The Prime Minister has to make strategic decisions and not carry out very specific technical functions. And the operations manager performs technical functions, “S. Skvernelis told reporters at the Seimas on Tuesday.

At the time, I. Šimonytė herself said last week that transferring control of Covid-19 to the Prime Minister would help prevent miscommunication.

“The goal is that when the new government takes office, the prime minister takes over the management of this situation. Because now one of the problems is that there are two centers of power: the Minister of Health and the Prime Minister.

Sometimes one of them is a good cop, the other is bad, sometimes the different information comes from two sources, ”I. Šimonytė told reporters on Wednesday.

According to her, the lack of communication between managers and the presentation of a different situation does not generate trust in society and this type of situation should be avoided in general.

“The center must be clear, the highest. And the subject centers can be configured in different ways. And there can be an advisory group of experts nearby,” considered I. Šimonytė.
