It is formulated as follows: the results obtained by the LSDP in the elections to the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania were poorly evaluated, the work of the LSDP Central Electoral Staff was evaluated as unsatisfactory, the activities of the LSDP President did not comply with the expectations.

Such a statement will be presented at a party council meeting after a remote vote Wednesday night.

The Jonava branch of the LSDP is led by Mindaugas Sinkevičius. In 2017, G. Paluckas fought with him for the position of party chairman.

The party is almost divided

The LSDP was unsuccessful in the elections and remained in opposition to parliament. The party chairman, G. Paluckas, who was included in the Seimas according to the party’s list, did not become the eldest of the faction;

At that time, even the members of the Seimas’ working faction didn’t speak much to each other.

G. Paluck in a letter to party members on which Delphi He has already written that he divided the mistakes of poor performance in the Seimas elections into four categories: “my mistakes, our mistakes, changes in the political environment and actions of opponents.”

“I will talk about this in more detail at the Council meeting, but there are some things worth mentioning. First of all, about my own mistakes. There were many, starting with team formation, lack of attention to preparation and divisional activities and ending financial mismanagement during the election period, when some single-member members were left without even small but promised support, ”said G. Paluckas.

It is financial problems that warm the LSDP community. Party leaders are said to be half accused of wasting money in elections.

According to the latest data from the Central Electoral Commission (CEC), the party had around a quarter of a million euros available for the Seimas elections: 258,705.28. This amount was accumulated from funds available to the party, budget allocations, donations from voters and party members.

The departments also lack constant communication from the party chairman, yearning for prior communication. Annotated Delphi the party structure in Lithuania is already on the brink of collapse.

The division within the LSDP is extremely strong, with two clear camps in support of Paluck and Juozas Olekas of the European Parliament (EP). The latter, even while working in the EP, maintains good relations with the party branches, unlike the party leader.

In November, the assumptions that J. Olekas could challenge G. Paluckas in the election of the party president were not confirmed, but neither J. Olekas himself nor the major of the LSDP faction in the Seimas A. Sysas denied this. .

G. Paluckas is supported by Vilija Blinkevičiūtė, who works in this way on the EP and is regularly evaluated quite well in Spinter’s research.
