This week, the Lithuanian parliamentarian Vincas Babilius of the Liberal and Centre Union LiCS party caused a traffic accident while drunk, according to eyewitnesses.

The young man whose car was damaged in the accident, said that the member of the parliament seemed drunk and had offered him 25 thousand litas if he did not call the police.
After this, Mr. Babilius left the scene of the accident and went to hospital the next day.

Yet again a politician goes unpunished, writes www.diena.lt:

“Theoretically he could have waited for the police, paid the fine and – if he had been driving under the influence of alcohol – resigned his post as member of parliament. In practice, however, things have once again taken the usual course.

… If the victim of the accident is to be believed, the politician appeared to be drunk and offered him a large amount of money, which he refused. Then the parliamentarian dismantled his license plates and took a taxi home.

When the story came out the next day, Vincas Babilius was suddenly in hospital – for heart problems. So typical, so annoying,” writes the newspaper.
