Butkevičius told reporters on Friday he would summon Culture Minister Šarūnas Birutis for a conversation on Monday. Butkevičius explained that by appointing Vigelis the culture minister breached the coalition’s agreement, thus it means the appointment was illegal.
As reported, while the prime minister was on holiday, Vigelis began working at the Ministry of Culture on 2 July. The deputy minister was assigned to oversee regional and professional art. Vigelis was delegated to the position by the Labour Party. Since November 1996 he had been mayor and long-serving councillor of Švenčionys District Municipality.
