MP Zingeris loses election to high Council of Europe post

“The Cypriot secured 132 votes, while Emanuelis was supported by 84,” Kęstutis Masiulis, another Lithuanian parliamentarian present at the assembly, told BNS.

The Lithuanian was nominated by the group of the European People’s Party representing right-wing forces, however, he failed to secure support of all of the assembly. Zingeris ‘ supporters said this could be due to his rigid stance on Russia.
