There were no further proposals for the position of Spokesperson for the Seimas.
The Seimas session is chaired by Antanas Vinkus until the election of a new Seimas President.
The candidate for president of the Seimas appeared at the session and answered questions from parliamentarians.
In the candidate’s speech, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen emphasized consensus, mutual respect and the importance of discussions.
According to her, the Seimas must participate in all the most important state processes and show leadership.
“The Seimas cannot withdraw or, as we say now, isolate itself from the most important state problems, especially those related to the coronavirus,” he said.
If she is the speaker of parliament, V. Čmilytė-Nielsen promised to be available, not to participate in intrigues behind the scenes.
The politician said that one of the first tasks of the Seimas should be to find a way to work remotely so that the continued work of parliament can be guaranteed during a pandemic.
There were also sharp questions
V. Bakas asked the proposed president of Seimas how she herself values that she is being chosen from a candidate. In your opinion, aren’t there more candidates in Lithuania who would also be suitable for this position?
V. Bakas recalled that V. Čmilytė-Nielsen is representative of the trial party and asked how he would manage to reconcile this fact with the fact that G. Nausėda expressed the hope of high morality and transparency to the Seimas.
“As you well know, I have no personal connection to the story you mentioned. I am already the third president of the Liberal Movement in the last four years, and most importantly, apparently in three elections in several years, the voters have expressed their confidence in the Liberal Movement Party and in me personally, ”said V. Čmilytė- Nielsen.
Politics said she had no doubt that there were many candidates in the House for this important and responsible position.
A. Sysas asked the candidates if they agreed with the statement of the former president of Seimas that the minority must obey the majority.
“I answered that question five times in a few weeks. I remind you that the representatives of our group were the most critical,” he said.
Dainius Kepenis also had questions for the candidate. He was interested in the topic of coronavirus vaccines and wondered why it was only about vaccines and not about boosting immunity. He asked how V. Čmilytė-Nielsen would act on this issue.
“There was a recent Covid discussion here, attended by leading experts who also answered your analogous question very clearly. In this case, I don’t think it is correct to equate the strengthening of immunity with the vaccine, ”he said.
The politician said that he would invite from the Seimas rostrum to speak about scientific facts.
“Peasant” Valius Ąžuolas asked to name the strong characteristic of being the Speaker of the Seimas.
“I really don’t like questions about strengths, I leave it to others,” Čmilytė-Nielsen said.
Bakas invited others to apply and emphasized that Čmilytė-Nielsen had little moral right to do so.
V. Bakas, who asked the candidate strict questions, took advantage of the time allotted for discussions. The politician said he understood that everyone was in a bit of euphoria and appreciated V. Čmilytė-Nielsen’s achievements in sports, but had comments “on achievements in politics.”
“Today, His Excellency the President stated that he expected this Seimas to raise high moral standards. We have the only candidate for the position of Speaker of the Seimas. The highest state position in parliamentary status is offered to a representative of the party tried for crimes criminal and corrupt, ”said V. Bakas.
He declared that today’s secret ballot for the president of the Seimas would be a decision on what kind of transparency poster the parliament would propose to Lithuania.
“I think many of those here have a moral right to be on this rostrum more than the contender. Much more ”, said V. Bakas and invited other parliamentarians to run for this position, convincing that 15 signatures will definitely be collected.
According to V. Bakas, not only the post of president of the Seimas, but also the posts of ministers cannot be entrusted to the party under trial.
“You have to repent, colleagues,” Bakas said. The politician highlighted that 6.7 percent. it’s not confidence that allows Seimas to lead.
Landsbergis: We wonder why the Seimas, who has worked for four years, graduated from the prestigious well
Gabrielius Landsbergis also wanted to comment on the candidacy of Čmilytė-Nielsen. “At the beginning I made two comments. The first is about chess. I thought I would come up with a very good post about chess players in the chair of the President of Seimas and how success awaited Lithuania when one of them took this position, “he said.
The politician said that one could promise in the rostrum that in four years the Seimas would be at a height and would have bypassed the firefighters and other institutions.
“And at exactly the same time, buy tons of Seimas candy and share it on your unique member, and then ask yourself why the Seimas, which has been running for four years, ended up in a prestigious well,” he said.
According to him, it is possible to promise a lot, but to do it in a completely different way and made it clear that the Seimas who has finished his work is being talked about. It was from V. Čmilytė-Nielsen that he said he did not hear many of those promises.
“I cannot miss the speeches of some colleagues who, in my opinion, go to extremes. We have seen so much (…) anger, hatred, distrust in the last four years. I think we’ll stop, “Landsberg said.
The head of the Seimas is approved by secret ballot.
