The rulers’ attempts to break the stalemate with the peasants continue: they have drawn up a more concrete plan

In conversations with the media today, I reiterated that there are several measures that we want to discuss with the LVS opposition. These measures, by the way, were born yesterday morning. I was planning to discuss them yesterday afternoon because the day was so busy. However, Ramūnas Karbauskis announced his decision to leave the Seimas during that time.

LVŽS has already managed to elect a new elder for the faction. Congratulations to my colleague Aušrinė Norkienė. At the same time, Acting Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis also spoke publicly about his determination to take the lead.

Therefore, I think it is appropriate to meet with the leaders of this group in the first half of next week. When the options are finally clear, what remains, what comes out, what LVŽS represents in the dialogue with Parliament, ”wrote V. Čmilytė Nielsen on Facebook.

She promises to interact with other factions during that time.

“It is time to replace the conflict initiation phase with a constructive work phase,” wrote V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.

It is true that the meetings will probably be at a distance, since V. Čmilyte Nielsen was diagnosed with a coronavirus.

Delfi recalls that R. Karbauskis, protesting the loss of his post on the Seimas Board and against the proposed amendments to the Statute, declared that he was leaving the Seimas. At the same time, he said that he could change his mind if asked by the rulers and that he would return to the original situation: Aušrinė Norkien Se’s candidacy for Vice President of the Seimas would be re-examined and the amendments to the Statute would be abandoned.

R. Karbauskis has also already sent a request to the Central Electoral Commission to withdraw from the Seimas. That request should be considered at a meeting on Tuesday. Until the Commission agrees, you can change your mind.

And a conservative spokesman said the amendments were not submitted on time.

Andrius Navickas, a member of the conservative faction, also publicly expressed his opinion on the amendments to the Statute tabled by the peasants.

“I fully agree that the amendments to the Statute that the position of President of the Audit Commission and the Anti-Corruption Commission should not belong to the necessarily declared opposition, but to any group not affiliated with the rulers, were out of place and not in a timely manner.

I am glad that Jurgis Razma reversed these amendments quickly enough. However, R. Karbauskis only needed a pretext. Why should he, the owner of Agrokoncernas, eat in opposition to the Seimas and be restricted by the rules imposed on parliamentarians? He tried to come out as a hero, a martyr, knocking on the door .. Although, if we think about it more deeply, against what protest? That the rulers wanted Baškienė to be the vice president and not Noreikienė? Perhaps an arrogant desire, perhaps you can get angry, but is that a pretext to escape the Seimas? ”Wrote A. Navickas on Facebook.

According to him, this leak diverts attention from another interesting fact that R. Karbauskis no longer had the intention of working in this Seimas in the Culture Commission, which he praised.

“Were you surprised by the names of the heads of the Committees? No. I think it is an interesting and fair option to appoint Minsaugas Lingė as chairman of the Social Affairs Commission. The most paradoxical thing is that Kazimieras Starkevičius will chair the Economic Committee, no, For example, Rural Affairs, but I have no doubt that it will rise to the challenge.

I have been entrusted with the work of the Human Rights Committee. There will be three members of the faction here (me, Sergei Jovaiša, and Jurgis Razma). It is gratifying that the Liberals have delegated their group president, Eugene Gentville, here. The position of president went to Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius, Deputy Elder of the Freedom Faction. I suppose it will be accepted in an ambiguous way, but I can say that he is a very rational and constructive person. Although, I have no doubt that once the work begins, there will be controversial issues. However, I think we can be respectful and serious, “wrote A. Navickas.

The politician admitted that he was disappointed with Kęstutis Glaveckas’ decision to move to the Joint Group. It would be fairer to abandon the mandate than to abandon the party with which he won the elections in the first session and remain multinominal.
