During an extraordinary meeting, members of a key committee convened to discuss leadership changes, including the potential replacement of a current leader. The vote regarding K. Vilkauskas was conducted secretly, resulting in four members voting for his removal and four voting against it.
Following the vote, the committee determined that these results would be formally presented to the Seimas. In a separate matter concerning the portfolio of culture, the decision to change the Chairman of the Culture Committee was made by the Presidium of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP). It was proposed that V.
Aleknavičienė, a committee member and former Minister of Culture, assume the role of the new leader. During the proceedings, committee member Rima Baškienė addressed K. Vilkauskas, inquiring about the rationale behind the decision.
Baškienė acknowledged his past contributions, noting her long observation of his dedication and abilities within the cultural sphere. The proceedings highlighted internal deliberation within the committee regarding leadership roles. While the vote on the general leadership was closely divided, the party structure ultimately guided the selection for the chairmanship within the culture sector.
The outcomes of these internal votes and discussions are set to be formally reported to the broader legislative body.
