As G. Landsbergis stated in the “Position” program of “Žiniai Radio” on Wednesday, the head of the country, by taking a not the most constructive position on the issue of the European Commissioner, drove himself into a trap, because he simply could no longer say “no” to Andrii Kubilis.
True, the Minister of Foreign Affairs admitted that he realized quite a long time ago that the door to Brussels would close for him at the Presidency.
“Quite early, when those comments started to circulate, it became clear to me that we are in the same story as other ministers, L. Linkevičius or R. Karoblius, where their careers were also stopped without clear public arguments. appointments.
There will probably be more of those persons in the future, I have no doubt about it, because there is just such a model of operation”, thought G. Landsbergis.
He testified that it is difficult for him to accept the president’s words personally, because the arguments for why he is not suitable to be a European commissioner were constantly changing.
“I accept that there was no such rational, explanatory argument – that’s all,” said G. Landsbergis.
And when asked how he evaluates G. Nausėda’s words that the blessing of A. Kubilius’s candidacy was really not revenge, the Minister of Foreign Affairs guessed that the head of the country simply drove himself into a trap.
“There was no way to miss A. Kubilius anymore. After rejecting one party chairman, the second party chairman has to be confirmed.
I think that the president, having taken perhaps not the most constructive position, drove himself into a trap”, G. Landsbergis thought.
Speaking about his political future, the chairman of the conservative party emphasized that his most important goal now is the Seimas elections, leading the party to them and the single-mandate Žaliakalnis district.
“Here are essential jobs and my main task,” G. Landsbergis claimed, denying that he was thinking about diplomatic service abroad.
