V. Juozapaitis addressed LRT television on Tuesday, expressing his hope that President G. Nausėda would review a specific piece of legislation and return it to the Seimas.
Juozapaitis stated that a particular point within the law represented a critical concern, noting that this issue had been documented in the Venice Commission’s report, an element he claimed had been disregarded by governing authorities. He also questioned the transparency of the Seimas Speaker, who, according to Juozapaitis, declined to specify what the Seimas had submitted to the Commission. Juozapaitis indicated that if presidential action is not taken, the opposition intends to escalate the matter by appealing to the Constitutional Court (CC).
“Without any doubt, we will appeal,” he asserted. He further suggested that the law contained multiple errors that required clarification or confirmation from the CC. The scope of the potential appeal, Juozapaitis explained, would encompass several unresolved issues.
Specifically, he mentioned the ongoing funding status of LRT as a key area of concern that required definitive resolution through the judicial process. His statements highlighted deep divisions regarding the legislative process and the legal standing of certain provisions, suggesting that the opposition viewed the current situation as one requiring judicial intervention to establish legal clarity.
