"We generally do not engage in ultimatums, threats and threats. We say that the Social Democrats are the axis of this coalition and it is our responsibility to balance those relations in one way or another. If, in the end, this does not work out, it is necessary to change a certain composition of the coalition. But, as I mentioned, the axis, the main place for decisions is the coalition council, whose decisions are binding on everyone. This is not a show or competition of some personal ambitions," - this is how Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas assesses the ultimatum put forward by Remigijus Žemaitaitis. The leader of "Nemunas Aušra" is threatening to withdraw from the ruling coalition if he is not appointed Deputy Speaker of the Seimas. However, the Speaker of the Seimas Saulius Skvernelis says that he will not nominate him as a candidate until he has resolved his legal problems. G. Paluckas himself makes it clear that he does not support the idea of appointing R. Žemaitaitis as Deputy Speaker of the Seimas now. "Personal ambitions have always existed, always will exist, but I think that those changed circumstances are precisely due to two pre-trial investigations - these circumstances could not have been foreseen. If they are resolved, we could accordingly look at how we could further implement the coalition agreement that was signed in the coalition council. One additional seat of the Deputy Speaker of the Seimas belongs to "Nemunas Aušra" and if they delegate R. Žemaitaitis, we must consider it," the Prime Minister says. The full interview with G. Paluckas is on the show "Delfi Interviu". Hosted by "Delfi" editor-in-chief Rasa Lukaitytė-Vnarauskienė.
