L. Kukuraitis was reportedly interested in offering E. Samoškaite the position of press secretary.
While the politician himself has not publicly confirmed the offer, Samoškaite stated in comments to “Delfi” that she did receive such a proposal. The journalist indicated that while she received the call, she was subsequently informed that the appointment was canceled due to potential contradictions with existing political partners. Separately, the Social Democrats addressed an incident that occurred in mid-April.
During a closed party council meeting, the party announced that they discovered a secret recording pencil, which they suspected belonged to Samoškaite, the journalist working for the public broadcaster. Following the discovery, the party contacted the police, initiating an official investigative inquiry into the matter. These two developments—the rumored job offer and the recording device—have drawn public attention.
Samoškaite’s comments served to partially confirm the initial reports regarding the potential role within the press sphere. The contrasting nature of the news—a professional appointment juxtaposed with an investigation into recording equipment—suggests ongoing scrutiny surrounding the journalist’s professional activities and political associations. The official inquiry into the recording pencil remains the primary focus of the party’s recent statements.
