The no-confidence procedure was initiated by the parliament’s opposition groups, which accused her of the commission’s “chaotic performance” and for taking decisions on her own.

Matjošaitytė rejected the criticism of procrastinating matters involving the ruling Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union, pledging to be impartial in her future work.
