Согласно утверждениям госпожи Аушрине Армонайте, утомленной руководством финтех-компании Foxpay, Моника Навицкене, министр социальной защиты и труда, приняла правильное решение, подав заявление об отставке премьер-министру. Это решение было принято после возникшего скандала и проблем с этой компанией.
«If this is a personal question, did I expect (such decisions) — definitely not. But the minister made a decision, and it seems that the prime minister will consider it,» A. Armonaite said on Thursday on Žinių radijas, noting that she did not delve into the details of the situation that caused a stir.
«Apparently, the minister knows the situation better than anyone else and can assess what decisions can be made here. She did it yesterday. That’s it. And I believe it’s the best decision,» she added.
Currently, M. Navickene is heading not only the Ministry of Social Protection and Labor (Ministry of Social Affairs), but also temporarily holds the position of Minister of Education.
When asked whether representatives of the Freedom Party could claim these vacant portfolios, A. Armonaite replied that she does not consider such a scenario yet.
«Firstly, it was not the ministry — as, by the way, was education — that the Freedom Party received during negotiations. Responsibility for managing these areas was taken on by the conservatives. It is primarily their prerogative, and now they must ensure the quality of work of these ministries,» said A. Armonaite.
