He made it clear that he had spoken to A. Butkevičius about future plans on the night of the Seimas election, but it was a non-binding conversation.
“On the night of the elections, I had to speak with dozens of members of the Seimas, discuss the beginning of the mandate, how you see it going to the position or the opposition. I think these non-binding conversations are a perfectly normal part of political life. The way they are interpreted is quite different, ”said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.
A. Butkevičius, who continues his work in the Seimas at the will of the electorate, currently belongs to the Joint Group of Members of the Seimas. 15 minutes said this group does not make decisions, does not mean a united position and therefore does not want to stay here in the next legislature of the Seimas.
“By working in the ruling majority, one can really do more, be active and productive,” said A. Butkevičius, adding that he had discussed his future over the phone with V. Čmilytė-Nielsen, the leader of the Liberal Movement.
The Liberal Movement with the Lithuanian Christian Democrats-Union of the Fatherland and the Freedom Party are currently participating in coalition negotiations.
