During the remote meeting, the candidate answered questions from parliamentarians related to changes in the civil service, regional development, the environment and the economy, but when it became clear that there was no clear position on the key provisions of the electoral program of the Labor Party, on the professionalism of the team, it was decided to abstain.

According to the chairman of the Labor Party faction, Vigilijus Jukna, although it was clear during the meeting that there was agreement on some provisions of the program, this was not enough, because the candidate for prime minister did not express a clear position on the most important provisions of the Labor Party program.

“Although we agree with some of the provisions of the program, we see that our opinions differ. A hesitant attitude to address regional issues, an adaptive approach and pulling the blanket in the interests of the coalition will ultimately destroy regional politics. Furthermore, Redistribution of a slightly higher percentage of GDP will not ensure the best services for the population, we are talking about education, its quality, protection of health, reduction of poverty and social exclusion. Therefore, as a constructive opposition party, we cannot support this candidacy. The faction of the Labor Party will abstain today “, informs the elder of the faction.
