“It just came to our attention then. When you think about it, the problem is not complicated at all and it is really easy to handle, but we are stuck in elementary places,” the president told reporters in Šiauliai on Tuesday.

He said he thought a simple replacement system could be envisaged in advance, adding that the replacement of Deputy Minister of Transport Jaroslav Narkevičius with Justice Minister Elvinas Jankevičius had caused unnecessary strain.

“I think it is possible to anticipate the system of who is replacing what and there would be no need for those discussions now about deputy prime ministers or some new positions. Only a very simple principle would suffice: replace it, replace it and everything would be clear, “said G. Nausėda.

“I think it is possible to anticipate the system of who is replacing what and there would be no need for those discussions now about deputy prime ministers or some new positions.

“But because Mr. Narkevičius is appointed for unclear reasons, then he faces that Mr. Narkevičius is not appropriate and then the decision to change something is made again in the process, which is completely incomprehensible, creates tension unnecessary, it generates discussions in the public space, “he added.

The Ministry of Health previously reported that Minister Aurelijus Verygas will be replaced for two weeks by J.Narkevičius, then by Minister of Education Algirdas Monkevičius and, in the last week of vacation, by Minister of Social Security and Labor, Linas Kukuraitis.

However, this week Justice Minister E. Jankevičius was named Deputy Minister of Health, saying he learned of his future duties a few days ago.

A.Veryga went on vacation last Monday and plans to go on vacation for five weeks.
