PM calls corruption cases “success stories” in political cleanup context

“The president dotted all I’s based on the latest topicalities, and very clearly identified work that has been done together by the president, Seimas and government. Among the success stories, we could mention, although it was done on a minor note, the political cleanup, the corruption cases, it is inevitable,” Skvernelis told journalists, commenting on the president’s speech.

He also agreed with the head of state’s position that less fighting was needed and there’s a need for unity in pursuit of higher causes and common work.
