V. Sinkevičius: No tangible talks about a coalition were held – if we are invited, we will consider

European parliamentarian V. Sinkevičius indicated that any potential engagement with the Democrats would be contingent upon internal consultation within his own party structure. Speaking to Eltai on Thursday, Sinkevičius stressed that the decision to proceed requires thorough deliberation across all sections of the political group.

He noted that given the significant amount of time that has elapsed, any future discussions must first establish the precise nature and format of the proposed collaboration. The parliamentarian emphasized that concrete, tangible discussions have not yet taken place. Therefore, before any formal steps can be taken, the party must first fully consider the implications and structure of such an alliance.

When questioned about the Democrats joining a potential governing coalition, Sinkevičius made it clear that the decision would not be based merely on the objective of expanding the number of coalition members. Instead, his assessment hinges on two key prerequisites: the government’s current workload must be adjusted, and a set of clearly defined priorities must be mutually agreed upon. For any cooperation to move forward, the initial phase must involve substantive talks.

These discussions must define the kind of connection sought, ensuring that the proposed partnership is built on actionable policy agreements rather than simple numerical additions. Sinkevičius maintained that this internal vetting process is essential before any external commitment can be made.
