Pinskuvienė steps down from leadership of Lithuania’s Labor Party

“My wish for the party to prevent intrigues and chaos that lead to nothing. Today I do not fear to make a political decision that is adverse to me personally – I submit resignation from the chairmanship of the Labor Party,” Pinskuvienė, mayor of Širvintos, said in a press release after heading the Labor Party for just over six months.

She is stepping down a week after the party’s founder MEP Viktor Uspaskich has been accepted to return to the political force.
