S. Skvernelis addressed journalists regarding limitations placed on his duties as a Member of the Seimas. He initially said that he could not perform his duties because he needed to be out, though he later returned to the proceedings.
Skvernelis noted that this was the second such instance, recalling an earlier incident last Tuesday where his vote was interrupted. He expressed concern regarding the proportionality of the measure applied. Skvernelis questioned the practical applicability of the restriction, specifically asking how the rules would function during sensitive operations, such as secret National Security and Defense meetings, or if they would apply during an air hazard emergency.
Furthermore, Skvernelis stated that if the court rules in his favor concerning these limitations, he plans to appeal the decision to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Following discussions within the Seimas, Skvernelis reiterated his stance, confirming that he intends to wait for the conclusion of the trial. His statements focused on the legal parameters of his participation and his commitment to pursuing further legal avenues if the initial ruling does not meet his expectations.
