Critics have challenged the legality of a specific procedural sequence, leading to plans to appeal the matter to the Constitutional Court (CC). Amid the dispute, political factions are assigning blame. The “socdems” have pointed fingers at the former administration, citing a parallel situation in 2020 when Ingrida Šimonytė’s government assumed power.
They noted that the process involved, sequentially, the draft of the government program followed by a presidential decree. Conversely, representatives from the former ruling majority, alongside I. Šimonytė, contest this narrative.
They maintain that the events did not unfold as described, asserting that both the decree and the government program draft were issued on the same day. A communication expert analyzed the current political maneuvering, interpreting the effort by certain parties to regroup as an attempt to shift accountability onto the former government. This suggests deep internal divisions, as skepticism regarding the legitimacy of the new governing structure reportedly exists within the coalition itself.
The ongoing debate highlights significant political friction. While one side focuses on the procedural timing of the legislative acts, others are contesting the sequence of events that led to the current cabinet formation. The Democratic Union “For the sake of Lithuania” remains involved in this complex political environment, adding to the scrutiny surrounding the current administration.
The core disagreement centers on whether the established protocols were followed correctly by the outgoing government or if the timeline of the key documents was misrepresented by the opposing parties themselves.
