It is really incomprehensible to me, “he said.
Mr. Veryga also stated that he had no objections to the Deputy Minister’s work.
“It just came to our attention then. I hope that what happens to the Vice Minister does not motivate other members of the team to work. Because the accusations that are being made that the mandate has been exceeded … It is basically the work that has been delegated to other ministers in unusual circumstances, it shows a complete misunderstanding of the previous situation during the pandemic. I don’t have the slightest criticism of the vice minister and I am really grateful for the work, “he said.
“The deputy minister decided to leave the team not because she believes guilty, but because every Lithuanian citizen could prove his innocence, to defend himself without being a member of the political team,” he said.
