Agnė Širinskienė, the deputy chairman of the Seimas’ Democratic Union “For the sake of Lithuania” faction, provided updates regarding internal deliberations. Speaking to ELTA, she stated that the faction cast mixed votes during a recent meeting, noting that some colleagues initially did not oppose the sudden removal of assessment requirements or the absence of defined assessment criteria. Širinskienė emphasized that the faction had not yet finalized its strategy for the following day.
She indicated that a break was scheduled during the ongoing meeting, after which a decision would be reached. Regarding the broader political climate, she mentioned that initial discussions suggested the party might align with the president’s veto. However, she cautioned that this was not a final position, asserting that the faction had not yet reached a conclusive decision.
The discussion centers on a proposal put forth by the country’s leader. This proposal seeks to establish that the requirement for basic education to be acquired only through the Basic Education Achievement Examination (PUPP), and with a minimum threshold of achievement, would become effective starting in 2029. As of the time of the statement, this specific educational proposal remains unconfirmed.
The ongoing internal discussions within the faction underscore the current political indecision surrounding key legislative matters.
