Government the executive said that R. Pocius could have received more penalties if he had not written a request for dismissal from his functions by mutual agreement between the parties.
“I would first like to take a look at the real situation. And the current situation is that R. Pocius wrote a request for dismissal from work by agreement of the parties. His request was granted, the government made such a decision a few weeks ago. At that time, somehow, there was no discussion about bullying and other things.
Even if yes, R. Poci was fined some time ago by a resolution of the Government. I do not exclude that there would have been a reason to impose more sanctions, if this situation had not ended with the dismissal of R. Pocias by mutual agreement between the parties, “the head of the government told LRT radio.
Prime Minister I. Šimonytė wondered why R. Pocius acted exactly that way.
“It seems to me that such a situation has arisen that, perhaps on the advice of someone, or thinking about his future political career, General R. Pocius has now decided to present that story in a different way, presenting other piquant details that are not necessarily true “, said Prime Minister I. Šimonytė.
He said this situation is formally “clear enough”.
“Mr. R. Pocius himself wrote a request for dismissal from work with the agreement of the parties, his request was accepted,” said I. Šimonytė.
The Prime Minister told LRT radio that he had already heard about the details of R. Pociaus’ work. But he wonders who actually experienced bullying.
“If the government had imposed a sanction in June, it is obvious that some formal basis already existed for making such decisions. But that some heads of some institutions, I don’t know for what reasons, maybe because they don’t like prominent women, maybe there are other reasons, they behaved quite strangely towards some members of the government, yes, I was aware of that. (…)
Now R. Pocius talks about bullying, but from what we saw in the public space last week, I would really like to ask myself and probably others a question: what is in this situation mobinami. And if A. Bilotaitė had been a man, there really would have been this kind of communication, as happened recently “, thought the head of the government I. Šimonytė.
He said Seimas members who have questions can ask them specifically.
“And you can answer specific questions. But there are many different nuances here. There are some requirements of the Personal Data Regulation that can limit the position of the minister. He cannot publicly disclose certain information, as R. Pocius has already been fired from the his job.
But I think it is possible to find a way and a form to answer these questions in a closed session for the members of the Seimas, “said the head of government I. Šimonytė on Thursday.
