Lithuanian Democrats Approve Coalition Talks

The board of Lithuania's Democratic Party has officially approved coalition negotiations, signaling a commitment to actively participate in state governance. Party representatives emphasized that this decision, reached after extensive discussion, aims to restore tranquility and professionalism to the political landscape.

"In politics, it is easiest to judge decisions from the sidelines. It is much harder to participate in making them yourself and take responsibility for the future of the state," stated interim party chairman Virginijus Sinkevičius. He added that the board unanimously chose the more challenging path, demonstrating the party's competence, professionalism, and leadership. Sinkevičius highlighted the readiness of party members to assume responsibility, make difficult choices, and prioritize the nation's interests above personal political convenience.

In politics, it is easiest to judge decisions from the sidelines. It is much harder to participate in making them yourself and take responsibility for the future of the state.

Discussions with party chapter leaders and the board meeting revealed a clear stance: the Democrats are focused on tangible achievements during the remaining two years of the current term, rather than securing specific positions. The party has identified demographic improvement, economic growth stimulation, regional strengthening, and ensuring state security as its primary objectives.

A negotiation group has been formed for discussions with the Social Democrats regarding the composition of the new ruling coalition. This group includes interim chairman Virginijus Sinkevičius, deputy chairpersons Domas Griškevičius, Linas Kukuraitis, Jekaterina Rojaka, Lukas Savickas, and Tomas Tomilinas.

This demonstrates once again that our party does not lack competence, professionalism, and leadership. We have people who are ready to take responsibility, make difficult decisions, and always put the state's interest above political convenience.
