The veteran politician, who quite openly and boldly named the party’s problems, admitted in the 15min show “Let’s Discuss. With Tadas Ignatavičius”. “We have already made too many of them (mistakes, – ed.),” A.Sysas, who welcomed D.Kuolys joining Mindaugas Sinkevičius’s team, does not disagree with the prime minister’s advisor.

According to the social democrat, this choice of the prime minister supposedly surprised him in a good way. “It’s good that he took (into the team, – ed.) a person who has experience, a longer and greater historical memory. I think there could be more such people with M. Sinkevičius, and in all governments,” A.Sysas considered, but he could not explain the reasons and circumstances behind the prime minister’s choice that surprised many.
The unexpected invitation from the social democrats’ leader also surprised D.Kuolys himself. Earlier, the 15min representative of the party “Lithuanian List” admitted that such a leftist gesture impressed him.
D.Kuolys, who agreed to assist the prime minister on cultural policy issues, earlier criticized the social democrats on the 15min show and compared them to conservatives. According to the well-known public figure, both sides have become degenerate, unable to agree on matters important to the state even in the face of threats.

The prime minister’s advisor poured especially much criticism on the foreign minister Kęstutis Budrys. He compared D.Budrys’s leadership of the country’s diplomacy to a mentioned but unmoving bicycle, where movement is simulated but there is no real result.
The prime minister’s advisor criticized the current foreign policy priorities, saying that too much attention is given to the Pacific Ocean and Latin America, but too little to regional security threats. Moreover, D.Kuolys claimed that when talking about the country’s security, Lithuania “bluffs a lot in many places”.
What are the biggest mistakes of the social democrats seen by A.Sysas?
In his opinion, will the social democrats manage to avoid more mistakes, or could they be blindly negative? Would the left be able to form another government if their new leader M.Sinkevičius did not remain in the prime minister’s seat?
