“The questions were like as if they had come from outer space. I don’t know what to say,” Bastys told the committee on Monday in comment of his ties with businessman Kučinskas, who is also Russia’s honorary consul.
He acknowledged he had ambitions following the Social Democratic Party’s victory in the 2012 elections, adding he was even considered for agriculture minister.
