V. Sinkevičius reported on statements made by Remigijus Matuzevičius, Chairman of the Seimas Foreign Affairs Committee, regarding potential shifts in the government structure. Matuzevičius told “Radio News” that he anticipates K.
Budrys may no longer serve as the Foreign Minister when Lithuania assumes the EU Council Presidency in the first half of 2027. Sinkevičius suggested that this potential change would likely stem from a decision made by Mindaugas (Sinkevičius – Lrytas), who was cited as a possible candidate. While acknowledging the possibility of Budrys remaining in a subsequent administration, he stressed that any such transition would require coordination with the President.
Addressing the timing of any major reshuffle, Sinkevičius advised caution, stating that implementing radical changes too close to the presidency would be ill-advised. He suggested that a significant cabinet shift occurring on New Year’s Eve would be premature. The discussion focused on the political implications surrounding the role of the Foreign Minister and the stability of the cabinet structure as Lithuania approaches its presidency in 2027.
