President's Office: Mažeika has experience but lacks concrete solutions

Lithuanian presidential advisor Ramūnas Dilba stated that while Kęstutis Mažeika possesses significant experience, he lacks practical solutions for pressing agricultural issues. Dilba, speaking after a meeting between the candidate and the president, noted Mažeika's background as a farmer and his past work in the Seimas Committee on Rural Affairs.

However, Dilba expressed the president's concern over Mažeika's absence of concrete methods to address ongoing problems. These unresolved issues include market fluctuations in the dairy sector, the development of short food supply chains, and the establishment of a land reclamation fund.

The presidency's feedback suggests a need for candidates to demonstrate not only experience but also actionable plans to tackle the complexities of the agricultural sector.

“

The candidate has extensive experience, perhaps personal too – he is a farmer himself, (...) worked as the chairman of the Seimas Committee on Rural Affairs, and is currently (...) in the committee. One aspect the president missed was practical solutions for a series of problems.
