Peasant and Greens Union

Saulius Skvernelis, prime minister delegated by the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union, says that the plans of moving the ministries of Environment and Agriculture to Kaunas had not been discarded, regardless of the party's group voting against the proposal of the conservatives earlier on Thursday.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis says that he sees no reasons for the ruling coalition of the Farmers and Greens Union (LFGU) and the Social Democratic Party (LSDP) to break up.

Amendments to Lithuania's new Labour Code will be put before the parliament next week, the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union (LFGU) and the Social Democratic Party (LSDP) agreed on Wednesday.

Gintautas Paluckas, the newly-elected leader of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP), said after Wednesday's meeting with the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union (LFGU) leaders that relations with the coalition partners had improved.

The Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union, the largest party in the country's parliament, will unanimously vote to strip MP Mindaugas Bastys of the Social Democrats of his MP mandate, says LFGU leader and group elder Ramūnas Karbauskis.

The Lithuanian parliament's commission plans to decide on Wednesday on proposing impeachment against MP Kęstutis Pūkas charged with sexual harassment.

The Social Democrats will no longer be "easy, accessible and obedient partners who have no priorities of their own" in the ruling coalition, Gintautas Paluckas, the newly-elected leader of the Social Democratic Party (LSDP), said on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis says that he does not plan to meet with Gintautas Paluckas in the near future and calls on the newly-elected leader of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) "to return to reality".
