Law Professor Criticizes Lithuanian Government's Program Submission Process

Lithuanian law professor Egidijus Kūris has voiced strong criticism regarding the submission of the government's program, asserting it was not presented in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Constitution.

Kūris explained that the program draft was submitted before the ministerial cabinet had been formally approved. The Constitution stipulates that the prime minister must present both the confirmed government and its program. This sequence of events, according to Kūris, could lead to questions about the current cabinet's legal authority to operate.

The project was registered in the Seimas (parliament) on July 3, while President Gitanas Nausėda confirmed the composition of the government on July 6. The professor's critique highlights a potential procedural flaw in the government's establishment and its legislative agenda.
