The Speaker of the Seimas Loreta Graužinienė has congratulated Members of the Seimas on the beginning of the 5th (autumn) session that commences today, on 10th September. The Speaker has expressed her belief that, in the midst of its term of office, the Seimas can still do a great deal for the benefit of Lithuania and its people by focussing on the most relevant issues.
“The strained geopolitical situation requires joint efforts and concentration, dignity and responsibility from us, Members of the Seimas, since all eyes are currently on the leaders of the state. The Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania is the representation of the Nation and we must do everything to live up to this honourable title,” said the Speaker.
While addressing her colleague MPs in the first sitting of the Seimas autumn session, Mrs Graužinienė wished them fruitful discussions rather than fierce debates. “I would like to believe that those debates will have an ideological content,” said the Speaker, stressing the importance of the quality of legislation adopted by the Seimas.
