During an appearance on the “ELTA Weekend” show, I. Šimonytė expressed concern regarding recent shifts within the government’s cabinet. She suggested that the initial focus for necessary alterations should be on the ministers who demonstrated competence and a clear understanding of their respective portfolios.
According to Šimonytė, the sequence of recent change suggests a broader pattern of reassignment. She pointed to specific ministerial transitions—including the replacement of Ms. Aleknavičienė with Mr.
Alsis, along with the changes involving Minister Kondratovič and the finance minister—as evidence raising significant questions about the rationale behind these decisions. Šimonytė elaborated that the pattern suggests that established ministers, who understood the responsibilities of their roles, are being supplanted by individuals who are new to the subject matter, as well as to the political landscape, including within the context of social democracy. While discussing the composition of the government, she stated that she could confirm the competence of the officials who were previously in post.
However, despite the noted structural shifts, the politician maintained that she does not believe M. Sinkevičius is being selected as a candidate for a leadership role. Her comments highlight a critical assessment of the ongoing personnel adjustments within the government structure.
