Juozas Olekas, the Speaker of the Seimas, signed an official order designating his first deputy, Domutis Griškevičius, to organize parliamentary control. This new mandate includes overseeing the implementation of decisions, conclusions, and rulings issued by the Constitutional Court (CC). This responsibility transfers to Griškevičius following the resignation of Raimondas Šukys from the role of first deputy to the Speaker.
In other areas, continuity is noted for key portfolios. Rasa Budbergytė, a Social Democrat, will maintain her role coordinating the European Union (EU) affairs. Furthermore, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, representing the Opozicinės Liberalų sąjūdžio frakcija, will continue to manage the development of the Seimas’ international cooperation and the implementation of parliamentary diplomacy measures.
The position held by Social Democrat Orania Leiputė will also remain unchanged. The new ministerial appointments are set to commence work, with some members returning to their established roles while others are already briefed on their upcoming duties. The changes outlined by the Speaker structure the oversight functions of the Seimas, ensuring that the implementation of judicial rulings and parliamentary governance procedures remain active.
These appointments confirm the operational structure of the legislative body as it moves forward with its agenda.
