During a press briefing at the Seimas on Tuesday, M. Sinkevičius addressed ongoing public discussions concerning the procedural timeline of submitting a government program. While cautioning that he is not a constitutional law expert, Sinkevičius provided an account of the established sequence of events regarding the official documentation.
He clarified that while the submission of the program occurred in the meeting hall, this action took place subsequent to the President signing the decree on July 6. Sinkevičius emphasized that the critical procedural step of registration had taken place at an earlier date. To contextualize the current debate, he drew a parallel to the formation of Ingrida Šimonytė’s government.
He noted that in that instance, the registration of the cabinet also occurred well in advance—specifically, more than three hours prior to the decree being signed by the relevant authorities. These discussions gained traction in the public sphere following an article published by the news portal “15min.” Sinkevičius’s statement sought to distinguish between various procedural milestones. He highlighted that the timing and methods for registration are distinct from those governing the final submission of documentation.
His remarks aimed to provide a technical delineation of the legal processes involved, asserting that the established timeline for the government’s documentation adhered to specific procedural guidelines, despite the differing points in time for the various steps.
