According to explanations provided by the VTEK, current legislation imposes significant restrictions on I. Ruginienė’s potential future roles. Specifically, the law stipulates that she cannot be reappointed as Prime Minister for a period of three years.
Furthermore, her eligibility to hold such a high office in the future is contingent upon specific political conditions: if more than half of the current cabinet ministers were to change, and Parliament were required to re-obtain its mandate, these restrictions would apply. The legal framework governing this matter is the law on the coordination of public and private interests. This statute dictates that any individual found to have grossly violated the requirements of this law faces a three-year prohibition.
Such a violation bars the person from being promoted, accepted, transferred, appointed, or elected to equivalent or higher positions within any institutional body or system where they are employed. ELTA reported that this week, the VTEK issued a determination finding that I. Ruginienė had committed a gross violation of public and private interests.
This finding stemmed from her actions of signing official orders for delegations traveling to Italy and the Vatican, orders which included her family members. These findings establish the basis for the limitations placed on her professional activities. The VTEK’s ruling confirms that these specific actions constitute a breach of the established legal standards, thereby preventing her from immediate consideration for senior government posts.
