I. Ruginienė, who guided the government for nearly nine months, stated her departure from the post with dignity. She noted that during her tenure, the state institutions maintained continuity, allowing for the implementation of several planned priorities.
The incoming ruling coalition is scheduled to begin forming a new Cabinet of Ministers, with the initial meeting between Mindaugas Sinkevičius and the President set for Wednesday. The departure of several ministers has elicited varied reactions. During the final meeting of the XXth Government of the Republic of Lithuania on Tuesday morning, the atmosphere among the ministers was mixed.
While some ministers expressed calm regarding their professional futures, others appeared resigned to the fact that their positions would be filled by different individuals. Despite I. Ruginienė’s efforts to maintain a composed demeanor, a sense of underlying disappointment was evident.
When speaking about the transition, I. Ruginienė remarked, “Today, definitely, my head is raised.” The focus now shifts to the formation of the next government, pending the procedural steps involving the key ministers and their respective roles.
