Matas Baltrukevičius. A president lost in the cold

With the new Seimas beginning its work, the new ruling bloc began settling accounts with the new opposition. This stage appears to now be in the past, but the baton has passed from the ruling coalition to the president. President Gitanas Nausėda has refused to appoint former Minister of Interior Affairs Eimutis Misiūnas a judge and the former head of the country’s diplomatic corps Linas Linkevičius and former Minister of National Defence Raimundas Karoblis have both been left benched, waiting for more significant appointments.
