The parliamentarian claimed to have paid for the future wife’s trip to Germany herself and to have married during her free time.

Giedrius Surplys, a member of the Foreign Affairs Commission and representative of the opposition “peasants,” said the issue should be clarified by the Seimas Board and possibly the Seimas Ethics and Procedures Commission, although he did not rule out that the wedding could be coordinated with the Seimas Board.

Šimonytė hopes to get married after business hours

At a press conference, the Prime Minister said she wanted to believe that in Berlin on Tuesday. The ward got married after business hours.

“I don’t know, at the time Z. Pavilion got married, I hope he did it after work, for his own money. Is there a problem here? I don’t know if I’m going on a business trip at night to go to a restaurant to eat, like after business hours and formal meetings, if that’s a problem. That would say no. If there weren’t some public money or some kind of work time spent on these things, I probably wouldn’t see in that what’s spicy for comment here. Except for the very fact of marriage, “said I. Šimonytė.
