After the presentation, 62 members of the Seimas approved it, 27 voters voted against it and 26 deputies abstained.
Tamašunienė spoke about the right of defense
Rita Tamašunienė, representative of LLRA-KŠS, who expressed her support for the proposal, asked the Seimas to allow the implementation of the constitutional principle of the right to defense.
“Elections are always a test of democracy. We hear that phrase especially now that a powerful state is electing its president and we are talking about the right to defense. (…) That the Seimas did not meet on time and therefore violated the Provisions of the Seimas Election Law is not our evaluation, the CC will answer all questions.
The opinion of the CC will also be formed on how the participation of third parties in the electoral campaign is regulated. (…) We have a legitimate appeal, given on time, and therefore we, the members of the Seimas, must show the citizens that everyone in our state has the right to defense ”, said R. Tamašunienė.
See efforts to curb media freedom
The conservative Kęstutis Masiulis saw in LLRA-KŠS actions attempts to “behave in a similar way to Poland and step by step to curb our freedom of the press.”
“This ruling majority has already tried to connect Lithuanian radio and television in various ways and more than once. (…) Now again I see an attempt to regulate the media in some way, to censor the independent media and their initiators. ”Said K. Masiulis.
He is convinced that the actions of A. Tapin did not harm the LLRA-KŠS in any way.
“On the contrary, they mobilize the voters of LLRA-KŠS to come to the polls more and support. (…) In the same way, I thought that R. Karbauskis’s attack against us with his red newspaper helped us to mobilize our constituent. I would like to sincerely thank you for that, “said K. Masiulis.
Discussion – after Tapin’s action
The LLRA-KŠS claims that the Seimas election law was flagrantly violated by a campaign launched by the publicist, host of the Andrius Tapinas program, with the aim of preventing the party from entering parliament.
The Central Election Commission stated that the “Todo Bien, Voldemortai” campaign and the “Todo Bien, Valdemarai” publication were negative LLRA-KŠS advertisements, but did not violate the electoral campaign law, since neither A. Tapinas nor “Laisvės TV “They participated in the political campaign.
Tapin says he has not violated any legislation.
Previously, President Gitanas Nausėda rejected the request of the party led by V. Tomaševskis to appear before the Constitutional Court.
Representatives of the ruling coalition, in response to the LLRA-KŠS request to submit a request to the CC, requested to hold an unscheduled session of the Seimas on Wednesday evening. However, the Seimas Board did not approve it.
The president of the Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis told the Board that the session could not be called because the document could be falsified.
“I affirm that this document is possibly falsified, the same last name is repeated twice, I have more suspicions. That the members of the Seimas who were not present yesterday signed the testimony of my companions, that then there were no companions, ”said V. Pranckietis.
At the same time, he assured the members of the Seimas Board that only 45 signatures had been collected, so the session could not take place.
Karbauskis: the French violated the Constitution with their actions
Ramūnas Karbauskis, leader of the Lithuanian Union of Peasants and Greens (LVŽS), declared on Thursday before the Seimas session that the president of the Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis had violated the Constitution with his actions.
According to the Constitution, this had to be done on time, the president of the Seimas had to do his duty. But it did not do so at the time the appeal was received. As far as I know, appeals to the Constitutional Court (CC) were received not only from the LLRA-KŠS, but also from other members of the Seimas. We have a duty to fulfill. And the CC will decide what to do with it. This is no longer our will here ”, said the peasant leader.
He said he expected a final decision to be made by November 11.
“From what we understand, the Speaker of the Seimas will not offer any urgency, we will not have the instruments in his hands. And it will continue to violate the Constitution ”, said the politician.
R. Karbauskis assured that the draft resolution will explain why the CC was not contacted within 48 hours.
“All this is already clear, obviously, these are the violations of the Speaker of the Seimas, not fulfilling his functions. He did it deliberately, it will be written in the decree. And the CC will appreciate it ”, he said.
