To mobilize the voters and invite them to vote, the “peasants” are trying to give the impression of how bad it will be if the country is ruled by the right after the elections.
“If you want to see what the party list leaders are talking about now about legalizing drugs happen, some conservatives are talking openly about legalizing same-sex families; if you want that to happen, you don’t have to go to the polls and it will happen, “he said. 15 minutes R. Karbauskis spoke.

Three parties want to adjust the partnership
But to be precise, only one party, Freedom, promises to legalize homogeneous marriages. In that case, the Constitution should be amended.
Other forces, but also the aforementioned Freedom Party, are more concerned about the amendments to the Civil Code and the right of people of the same sex to register a partner.

The Freedom Party has included the following objective in its program: “We will make sure de facto the rights, legitimate expectations and interests of people who live in a family society or who wish to form a society. We will adopt a law that will modify the Civil Code to regulate same-sex and different-sex family couples. “
We will adopt the law that modifies the Civil Code.
The Liberal Movement basically wants the same thing: “We will legitimize the legal relationship of a gender neutral association.”
The Social Democratic Party (LSDP), whom R. Karbauskis describes as comrades, also speaks of the union between people of the same sex: “We will adopt a union law, which will allow same-sex couples to legalize their family relationships.”
Other forces chosen for the Seimas do not mention the same-sex couple in the programs.
LVŽS and the “workers” see other ways
TS-LKD leader Ingrida Šimonytė previously explained that the opinion of party members on the issue of legalizing the association is different.
“There really are enough people in the community for whom such a decision is unacceptable due to moral convictions. The fact that one or another person can see the issue in a different way is already the personal position of that person, “said the politician during the Seimas electoral debates organized by the LRT.

Aurelijus Veryga, a “peasant” who participated in the same debate, agreed that the association should be regulated, but that it was different from the suggestions of the opponents.
“We are a political force for traditional family values and we do not hide it. But of course we understand and respect people’s rights, self-determination, and such important things come up that people need to manage financial affairs to know the information of others. <...> We see the solution through other legal issues, but without introducing such a legal institute, ”said A. Veryga.
We see the solution through other legal matters, but without introducing such a legal institute.
A similar position was expressed by Andrius Mazuronis, an “employee”, on behalf of the party.
“We agree that it is necessary to regulate relationships between people of the same sex who run a joint farm. Whether this should be done through the institute of associations or through some other legislation is a matter of debate here.
But we think that is where the discussion should end. We do not support the legalization of marriages, the increased adoption of children and the like, “he said.
Individual candidates are in favor of the association
Individual participants in the elections also expressed their views on the relationship between homogeneous couples on the website. Manobalsas.lt. 15 minutes reviewed the positions of the candidates already elected to the Seimas and summarized them.
Individuals had to answer the question of whether same-sex couples should have the same rights to marry as heterosexual couples.
The Freedom Party candidates have almost unanimously agreed with this, although there is a more moderate provision in their program. Only Artūras Žukauskas scored “I agree before”.
The member of the liberal movement Simonas Gentvilas marked “I totally agree”, and the leader of the party Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen – “I soon agree” and added that first it was necessary to finish the institute of civil association.
The opinions of TS-LKD “peasants” and candidates on homogeneous marriages were different, but all who wrote comments said they were in favor of same-sex couples.
Social Democrats have welcomed the possibility of same-sex marriage.
“Rights must be equal for all,” emphasized LSDP leader Gintautas Paluckas.
Only the Freedom Party talks about cannabis on the show
He also looked positively at the proposal to legalize cannabis. When asked whether recreational marijuana use should be legalized, G. Paluckas replied, “I agree before.”
“Let’s start with decriminalization because the current punishments are inadequate. However, in the future we can also talk about legalization ”, he commented.
G. Paluckas’ colleague in the party Algirdas Sysas answered the previous question to the contrary: that he does not completely agree that we should use marijuana in our free time.

The LSDP does not discuss cannabis use or less lenient responsibilities for low volume cannabis holders on its program. Provisions related to cannabis use or decriminalization were not included in the electoral programs by other forces elected to the Seimas, with the exception of the Freedom Party.
The latter promises to pass a Cannabis Control Act to legalize and regulate cannabis use.
“We will establish strict procedures for the sale and distribution of cannabis, ensuring that cannabis is not available to minors,” the Freedom Party said.
He also says that he will propose amendments to the legislation “so that Lithuanian doctors can prescribe cannabis and its products to patients for medical purposes, and patients can buy these products in pharmacies.”
However, recently, after the first round of the Seimas elections, the president of the Freedom Party Aušrinė Armonaitė has been speaking more often not about the legalization of marijuana for recreation, but only about the decriminalization of conservation of small quantities.
Moderate V.Čmilytė-Nielsen and Liberal L. Kasčiūnas
The representatives of the Freedom Party elected to the Seimas mainly refer to the use of cannabis for leisure purposes. Manobalsas.lt responded favorably on the website, only A.Žukauskas indicated that they neither agree nor disagree.
Members of the liberal movement S. Gentvilas and V. Čmilytė-Nielsen disagreed on marijuana: the former defends its use for leisure purposes, the latter disagrees.
“Disproportionately severe penalties for keeping or consuming small amounts need to be lowered,” said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.

Conservatives’ views on marijuana use differed: Laurynas Kasčiūnas was probably the only one who agreed that he might be allowed to use it for leisure purposes, while others indicated that he did not agree with or support decriminalization and use. doctor.
The individual members of the TS-LKD faction presented amendments related to the laws during this Seimas period, but they were not adopted.
The “peasants” are categorical about the use of cannabis in their spare time – most of them completely disagree with him, only the non-partisan Lukas Savickas is not that strict – he pointed out that “I rather disagree”.
Agree to start discussions on legalization
In the same poll, he spoke in favor of same-sex couples. It was not possible to speak with L. Savickas and ask if such an opinion will be expressed in the Seimas when someone presents amendments that legitimize it on Monday.
When asked why he had responded positively to recreational marijuana use, L. Kasčiūnas replied that he was in favor of decriminalizing these substances.
“I have been in favor of decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of cannabis during this term. I think this problem really needs to be addressed. And for the rest, we can start a discussion. ” 15 minutes commented.
G. Paluckas assured that the decriminalization of the possession of cannabis is one of the objectives of the LSDP, only that the program may not be so clearly expressed.
It can’t be that for a spinner: automatically two years in prison. This is absurd.
“This is one of the components of the broader prison reform. The fact that one or the other party takes a narrow questionnaire and uses it is one thing here, but we look at it systematically and then everything fits. It can’t be that for a spinner. : automatically two years in prison. It’s absurd here ” 15 minutes commented the party leader.
In its program, the LSDP declares that it will undertake a review of Lithuania’s criminal policy: it will seek to reduce the number of prisoners, differentiate criminal responsibility and individualize penalties for certain criminal offenses, and legalize the necessary measure of criminal impact: the carrying out of Public Works.
With the Labor Party al Seimas elected representatives of the nation to the site Manobalsas.lt did not answer questions.
