Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauséda announced on Monday that he was entrusted to the Minister of Finance Rimantas Šadžius until the appointment of a new government until the appointment of a new finance. TASR reports this based on the report of Reuters and Lithuanian television LRT. “The President signed a decree on the government’s resignation and commissioned the temporary cabinet to continue performing his tasks,” said President’s advisor Tomas Berzinskas.

Šajius is a long -time party colleague Gintautas Paluckas, who confirmed on Monday that he ends up as the Prime Minister and handed over his resignation. Šajius will lead the government to the appointment of a new cabinet. Reuters reports that the new prime minister will probably become a member of the strongest social -democratic party again. The government will have to be taken by Parliament, whose nearest meeting is scheduled for a summer break until 10 September.

According to Lithuanian television LRT, he will decide on the successor succession at Wednesday’s meeting. Possible candidates for the post of Prime Minister are former Minister of Economy and Innovation Mindaugas Sinkevičius, MEP Inga Ruginiené, former Health Minister Juozas Olekas or Mayor of Vilnius district Robert Duchenevich.

Paluckas announced its intention to resign on Thursday. He responded to the declaration of the Coalition Party of the Democrats Union “for Lithuania” and its boss, President of Parliament Saulius Skvernelis, that if he remains at the head of the government, this party will leave the coalition.

According to LRT, the pressure on Paluckas was rising last Thursday after a raid of financial crimes investigation (FNTT) in Dankor belonging to the Paluckas brother -in -law. According to the news server 15min.lt, these are suspicions of misuse of the European Union funds. The money was to go to support the development of infrastructure for electric vehicles in Drukiai.

In February, Dankora announced public procurement for the supply of battery systems with two inverters. JEdina’s candidate in the tender and finally the winner was Garnis, in which the Prime Minister is a 49 % owner.

Otherwise, Garnis received a loan of EUR 200,000 from the State Development Bank, while investigators suspect that these funds were also misused. This loan was already received by the company at a time when Paluckas was Prime Minister.

The Special Investigation Service (STT) also focuses on other past business activities. Paluckas itself rejects all allegations.
