Lithuanian parliament speaker says interior minister should resign

“Well, I would definitely resign, if I were the minister. That would be my personal choice. There are certain things – there is the issue of responsibility. Let me give you another example – if there is a car crash caused by police officers, commissioners general Vytautas Grigaravičius and Vizgirdas Telyčėnas stepped down, they were such truly honorable persons with immense experience and huge merits for Lithuania, however, left after the problems. I believe this is an example for politicians,” Graužinienė told the Žinių Radijas news radio on Wednesday morning.
