"This is an simple deficiency of respect and mocking voters. This is simply a disaster, cynicism and deception" – the political scientist was annoyed Ignas Kalpokas. The elections in Lithuania ended on 27 October. The Socialists won 52 seats in Seimas, with 141 Members. Vilija Blinkevičiūtė announced a "historical victory". It was widely expected that he would lead the government. 2 months before the vote, the Social politician leader announced that she would presume the office of Prime Minister. After the results were announced, however, she began to talk alternatively vaguely. Finally, on October 30, she announced that she would not become the head of government. She gave her age and wellness as a reason for this decision. "It would be hard for a 65-year-old prime minister to work. I am a retired woman, and I have spent the full election assessing how liable it would be to work, how much it would require wellness and strength," the politician said. However, Vilija Blinkevičiūtė has had wellness and strength for the struggles in the Euro-Parliament in which it has been in office since 2009.
On 30 October, the Social Democratic organization designated the Head of Government of its Vice-President, who is 45 years old Gintautas Paluckas.
The decision of Blinkevičiūtė provoked anger and ridicule. Current Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė She mocked Twitter: "It is simply a pragmatic choice of comfortable presence in the European Parliament alternatively of tension and working for the Lithuanian people and gathering their promises." Liberal Parliamentary Eugenius Gentvilas stressed that the wage of the Euro MP was EUR 19 000 per period and could be obtained without large effort. "This all sounds like electoral fraud and social democrats will be hard to explain," he accused politicians. any journalists in Vilnius presume that Vilija Blinkevičiūtė has already notified organization colleagues before the election that she does not intend to become Prime Minister. However, the Social Democrats hid this fact due to the fact that their leader was popular and was to service as an excellent election locomotive.
