The Freedom Party was once again left on the ice: the signal to the coalition has been sent, but is there any leverage?

Although it was considered that the draft law on civil union could appear on the agenda of plenary sessions of the Seimas on Tuesday for the final vote on adoption, this did not happen.

The ruling party managed to secure the support of 66-67 MPs when more were needed.

The chairwoman of the Freedom Party, Aušrinė Armonaitė, poked at the coalition agreement, in which the three governing parties pledged to make maximum efforts to implement human rights decisions.

“In fact, it is not easy to say that the coalition does not focus enough on the adoption of support, despite all the efforts that have been made. Naturally, I have to state that that clause of the contract remains unfulfilled.

When the clause of the contract remains unfulfilled, it means that the parties to the contract can also revise their obligations. And we will do that,” she emphasized.

Although he asked not to see it as blackmail or a threat, A. Armonaitė explained that when the time comes when an important issue for the coalition is decided, the liberals will decide whether to support it or oppose it.

However, for example, the draft state budget for next year, which was criticized by some representatives of the Freedom Party, was finally approved by the Liberals of the Seimas.

Disagreements are nothing new
