Inga Ruginienė, director of the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation, is surprised by the position of the city government, as the quality of service deteriorates as the working conditions of employees deteriorate. She assumes that we are looking to privatize Vilnius public transport.

“The Minister of Economy and Innovation Aušrinė Armonaitė said at the beginning of her mandate that municipalities should abandon municipal companies, whose functions can be taken over by the private market. It seems that her party’s comrade, Remigijus Šimašius, does it only from the in a more brutal way: he deliberately destroys the company in order to transfer it to some business, perhaps favorable to the mayor ”, comments I. Ruginienė.
