A slap in Butkevičius face
PHOTO:
Members of Seimas elected 4 deputies for Seimas Speaker Viktoras Pranckietis – two Peasant Greens, one Social Democrat and one Conservative. Algirdas Butkevičius was not among the elected. His candidacy was supported by 66 members of Seimas, with 53 voting against and 14 abstaining. In order for a politician to be elected to the post, the number of votes against and abstaining has to be less than the number of votes for.
