“I haven’t made a statement yet, I just said those thoughts,” Liesys told BNS on Wednesday.
“It is a very painful decision for me because it is the only and probably the last I have been in,” he said.
The politician said that he had decided to take that step without wanting to harm the liberal movement, since he is one of the authors of the resounding proposal to legalize the rents for unelected parliamentarians.
“So that it does not tolerate negotiations and does not harm the Liberal Movement as a party and as a group. I think the group will definitely not support that (the BNS proposal), and I cannot damage the image as one of the party members, ”said J. Liesys.
The politician will finish this term of the Seimas by being in the Mixed Group of Members of the Seimas.
“It is scandalous and the authors themselves feel it”
We remind you that tv3.lt has already announced that after the Liberal, the Vice President of the Seimas J. Liesis and other parliamentarians appeared at the Seimas to legalize former members of the Seimas and prime ministers there was a wave of criticism. The Liberal Movement Group has stated that it does not support the proposal of its party partner, Mr. Lies.
Eugenijus Gentvilas, a member of the Liberal Movement faction, confirmed it to the news portal tv3.lt.
“First of all, the faction stated that I had not read the statement, but I know that Čmilytė (Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen – aut. Past) arranged that the faction does not support such projects signed by Jonas Liesys,” E. Gentvilas told tv3 .lt.
E. Gentvilas describes the proposal of J. Liesis, a member of the faction, scandalous and did not spare bitter words.
I personally don’t support it either. The position of the party (I do not know, aut. Past), because I am neither the president nor the deputy of the party. As a member of the group, I certainly don’t support it. I think it is scandalous and the authors themselves feel it. After the second round of elections, sign the following. If you really believe it, go to the beginning or the middle of the quarter and offer the following. Now this is a bunny maneuver, ”he told E. Gentvilas on tv3.lt.
She claimed that J. Liesis had also spoken with V. Čmilyte-Nielsen, chairman of the Liberal Movement party, but tv3.lt had not yet been able to contact her. The Liberal Movement has expressed its position on its Facebook account.
“The Liberal Movement (LS) does not support the amendments to the bill on state revenues presented to unelected members of the Seimas by members of the Seimas, including J. Liesys, a member of the LS faction. In 2020-2024. J. Lies, who was not re-elected to the mandate, was not coordinated with the Liberal Movement faction, so it cannot be presented as a party-wide initiative.
These initiatives must be coordinated with the party faction and their presentation does not conform to the party’s regulations and obligations. At a time when Lithuania is facing such challenges, any initiative on benefits must be clear and specific. This is not the case.
It is a mistake to equate the members of the Seimas with the signatories of the Act of Independence. The Liberal Movement takes the position that state revenues should not be paid to unelected members of the Seimas, ”the liberals claimed.
On the eve of All Souls Day, there were attempts by parliamentarians to legalize state incomes for former members of the Seimas and prime ministers and pay money out of the state’s pocket without them working for four years, and for prime ministers even forever.
On the eve of recent times, two additions to the bill were registered in the Seimas in order to equate unelected parliamentarians with the signers of the Act of Independence, to pay money without working for four years. One proposal was registered by Liberal J. Liesys.
Another proposal from the representatives of the Labor Party in the Seimas is to pay state rent to all former prime ministers. After consideration by the commission, if the Seimas were unanimous, just one vote would be enough to pass it.
