PM: President failed to pass impartiality test during Seimas elections

“She indeed fail the test of impartiality, and I am not afraid to say this. I believe presidents, speaking in plural, should not and should not be able to behave like this,” Butkevičius told a delfi.lt news conference on Wednesday.

“I believe it was very well-prepared strategy with certain keywords, i.e., renewal, changes, recovery. The other trend was aimed directly at the government, which was very painful for me as a person to hear: ‘corruption’, ‘thieves’, ‘incapable government’. After repeating the keywords on a regular basis for about a year, a large share of the population starts believing them,” said the head of the outgoing government.
