A scandal is brewing over E. Bajarūnas: MFA inspectors have drawn up unfavorable conclusions, the ambassador is holding a press conference

According to the portal, the inspectors found that E. Bajarūnas lacks the competence required for a manager, he abuses the powers given to him and communicates inappropriately with the embassy staff.

E. Bajarūnas himself promises to present his position on Wednesday at 12 noon. at the press conference organized by the BNS news agency.

According to “Delfi”, on September 18-21, the General Inspectorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visited the embassy and conducted an assessment of the situation, interviewed 13 embassy employees: diplomats, special attachés, civil servants, employees working under employment contracts.

The inspectors have found that E. Bajarūnas communicates with them incorrectly and rudely, many of them have experienced public insults, bullying, humiliating criticism, and manifestations of verbal aggression. The employees pointed out that the ambassador is unable to separate his private interests from the public ones, possibly abusing his official position.

It is stated that in official and community meetings, E.Bajarūnas often emphasizes that the embassy staff must respect not only their manager, but also his wife Giedrė Žičkytė, she delegates personal tasks to employees, uses the embassy’s economic inventory for personal purposes.

As “Delfi” previously announced, the investigations were started due to the possibly inappropriate behavior of two Lithuanian diplomats – as well as the Lithuanian representative to NATO Deividas Matulionis, who allegedly could not comply with the mandate given by the state institutions and by his activities weaken Lithuania’s negotiating position in the negotiations regarding the documents of the NATO summit in Vilnius.

The President said at the beginning of September that he currently trusts the aforementioned diplomats.

Ambassadors are appointed and dismissed by the President at the proposal of the Government and with the approval of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Seimas.
