Speaker Jozas Olekas proposed a legislative schedule following a vote within the Parliament. During the proceedings, 59 members of Parliament voted in favor of the proposal, while 5 members voted against, and 15 members abstained. Addressing the chamber, Olekas outlined a plan to advance the necessary governmental work over two upcoming sessions.
He stated that the goal is to finalize the formation of a government and establish its program in two sittings: scheduled for next Tuesday, July 7, and July 14. According to Olekas, this focused effort will allow the body to engage in substantive discussions with its constituents, ensuring that when plenary sittings resume in the autumn, the Parliament will be better equipped to serve the nation. The Parliament operates on a biannual schedule.
The current spring session commenced on March 10 and was slated to conclude on June 30. Olekas’s proposal aims to utilize the immediate future to solidify the foundational elements of the next administration. The vote count reflects the current composition of support within the legislative body regarding the proposed timeline and scope of work.
These scheduled dates in July are critical for moving the legislative agenda forward following the conclusion of the spring session.
