“I could not be responsible for all the judges of the CC, but personally I believe that the Constitution is an act of equality of citizens, not privileges, so there should be the fewest possible exceptions based on the function of the general order of vaccination by age or disease groups, “Žalimas told BNS.
Therefore, I do not believe that in this context CC judges should be treated as an exceptional group of people. I believe that the life and health of all people are equally important. We have not asked the Ministry of Health about the possibility of vaccinating the CC judges in order of priority ”, he added.
He stated that some of the CC judges are already vaccinated according to age groups.
Judges, unlike the police, intelligence or border agents, are not explicitly identified as a priority group in the Ministerial Order, but maintain the provision that “other vital state functions other than general ones, in contact with other people, they can be vaccinated as a matter of priority when functions cannot be performed remotely. ‘
The Council of the Magistracy asked the Ministry of Health to clarify whether they could fall into this category and received a positive response that judges, together with court clerks and court clerks, could be vaccinated as a priority.
More than 700 judges work in the Lithuanian courts.
