M. Sinkevičius addressed journalists in Jonava on Wednesday, discussing his current professional schedule and potential future roles. Regarding his immediate availability, Sinkevičius indicated he might take a vacation this week, while next week’s schedule remains uncertain.
He expressed a desire to avoid any perceived conflicts regarding the separation of public and private interests, complaints, and other matters. Specifically, he voiced concern over a situation where he might be acting in a capacity within the parliament while simultaneously fulfilling the duties of a mayor, fearing public questioning about the legitimacy of his pay or actions. Separately, the discussion touched upon the procedural requirements for the newly appointed Prime Minister.
Sinkevičius, who was appointed as Prime Minister, is scheduled to present the government program to the Seimas on Tuesday. According to established protocol, the future Prime Minister is required to present the Cabinet of Ministers to the Seimas and submit the Government program to the Parliament within a strict timeframe—no later than 15 days following their official appointment. The statement highlighted the need for clear delineation between governmental functions.
Sinkevičius emphasized that the operational structure must prevent any ambiguity or potential confusion concerning the various elements of his duties, ensuring that his public actions are perceived as consistent and accountable to taxpayers.
