PM sacks adviser who had lost political confidence

“He has been discharged as having lost his political confidence,” Tomas Beržinskas, the prime minister’s spokesman, told BNS.

BNS was unable to get a hold of Garasimavičius on Friday. He has also served as energy adviser to the earlier Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius of the Social Democrats.

Garasimačius told about his visit to the shutdown Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant as part of the Butkevičius-led delegation and a meeting with representatives of Russia’s Nukem and Rosatom companies.
