Lithuanian minister responds to president's criticism over data leak

Lithuania's interim Interior Minister, Vladislav Kondratovich, has responded to President Gitanas Nausėda's remarks concerning his alleged responsibility in the Registry Center (RC) data leak scandal. The President had indicated that he saw Kondratovich bearing responsibility for the incident.

In his statement, Kondratovich asserted that he is not looking for excuses regarding the data leak. The scandal involves the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information held by the state-run Registry Center, a body responsible for maintaining crucial public registers.

The President's comments place direct scrutiny on the minister's leadership amid the ongoing fallout from the data breach. The situation highlights concerns about data security and accountability within government institutions.

Kondratovich's acknowledgment, while not admitting fault, suggests a willingness to face the consequences without deflecting blame, as the investigation into the leak continues.
