„If the voters entrust me [with another term – ELTA], I will continue to do so for the next five years,“ Nausėda told reporters in Švenčionys on Thursday.
He said the president needs to know „the mood Lithuanians are in.“
„Only this way he can assess the real situation and make the right decisions, both in domestic and foreign policy. This is my conviction and there is no election gaming here,“ Nausėda stated.
The president said the second term would allow him to continue the work he has already started – by visiting the regions again.
„There will be an opportunity to come back and talk about road funding, social policy, health reform and education reform. These topics do not require repeating things that have been said before. We will be able to discuss new things,“ Nausėda said.
Responding to the criticism, Nausėda assured that his trips to the regions were not part of the election campaign, and Lithuania’s regions have been very important for him throughout his tenure.
