The Party of Regions will support Varaška in the presidential elections

The branches of the Party of Regions still nominated the re-elected chairman of the party, Jonas Pinskaus, Širvintos district municipalities mayors Živiles Pinskuvienesformer army commander and party candidate for mayor of Vilnius Valdas Tutkaus and member of the Seimas Andrias Palionos.

They all refused to participate in the elections at the Party of Regions convention in Vilnius on Sunday.

According to M. Varaška, his and the party’s values ​​and goals coincide.

“I believe that I will be able to represent our common ideas (…), but without any concessions to the candidates of other parties,” M. Varaška said at the convention.

“What we offer are not political poems. This is a specific political agenda,” he emphasized.

On Sunday morning, M. Varaška announced on her Facebook account that she will participate in the presidential elections to be held next May.

“I will take part in the presidential elections of the Republic of Lithuania. I have reasonable proposals for the future of society and the state. I don’t intend to delay,” M. Varaška posted on the social network.

According to the mayor of Kazlų Rūda, he decided to run for office because he misses changes from the current top leaders of the state.

“With respect to the current leaders of the state, I do not see their will for fundamental changes in progress. I understand that it will be too late to save our common affairs (ResPublik) in 4 or 5 years”, said M. Varaška, while noting that after winning the elections, he would propose difficult but necessary solutions.

ELTA reminds that the new presidential elections of the Republic of Lithuania will be held in May 2024.

Currently, the Party of Regions of Lithuania is represented in the parliament by two Members of the Parliament – J. Pinskus and A. Palionis.
