Sound bite (Lithuanian), SAULIUS SKVERNELIS, Leader of Peasants-Greens electoral list, former chief of police and former Minister of Interior: Political parties which declared and still declare a wish to do changes in the state and to implement them, especially when we face demographic challenges, poverty, so if all this is not just words, then clearly it is a possibility to agree and work together. But if the question is only about political posts and election results, then probably there will be less of those possible coalition partners.
Sound bite (Lithuanian), SAULIUS SKVERNELIS, Leader of Peasants-Greens electoral list, former chief of police and former Minister of Interior: From those several debates you can see that when the results showed the reality, real faces emerge from colleague politicians who start to talk that it is not clear what kind of the group has won the elections, that our direction is not clear or that we will split, fade away or etcetera. If we talk about the state and its people, then it is necessary that actions follow words. I think that we succeeded in changing the attitude towards human being, working hard during campaign, and it showed the result. Now there is a responsibility to implement planned works.
Sound bite (Lithuanian), RAMUNAS KARBAUSKIS, Leader of Peasants-Greens party: We need to think how to limit with economic measures electricity buying from Astravets (Belarus) nuclear power plant and later to technically limit this plant, because it raises a major threat to Lithuania.
Sound bite (Lithuanian), RAMUNAS KARBAUSKIS, Leader of Peasants-Greens party: I do not see any difference between Conservatives and Social Democrats. They need to think about their situation, as far as I know, one party has its boards meeting tomorrow, the other is not clear, so they need to think if they want to join the ruling coalition and then what compromises they can make when it comes to their program and our program. At the moment there were many doubts heard considering our decisions and suggestions.
Sound bite (Lithuanian), GABRIELIUS LANDSBERGIS, leader of conservative Homeland Union – Christian Democrats: Saulius Skvernelis and Ramunas Karbauskis now will have a difficult time, but let them to cope with it. I would not like to leave my party limits, but they will have to decide which style they will choose, how they will negotiate and raise their demands. Because we truly saw two very different people who see Lithuania and works that need to be done very differently. If Saulius Skvernelis clearly spoke about aims which we need to seek for Lithuania, about things were we or they can retreat, where not, but I can see a negotiator in him, I see a man who wants to seek a result. Ramunas Karbauskis on the other hand from the very first days when he started to raise his demands, all he was doing was only drawing red lines. So today we will see if that was only a campaign talk or it was their position.
Sound bite (Lithuanian), ALGIRDAS BUTKEVICIUS, Social Democratic Prime Minister of Lithuania: The society showed a law trust in our party, and their showed a huge trust in Peasants-Greens party. I would expect that we just do not have a strong mandate to form a ruling majority and coalition. But we do not say that we will not talk at all and that we are stubborn on this.
