“I have been swamped with an avalanche of lies”, said the resigning minister, Dainius Kreivys, at a press conference today.
“I am not indifferent to what Lithuania will look like to our children and grandchildren after 20 or more years”, he concluded.
After a few months of investigation, Lithuania’s Chief Official Ethics Commission today stated that the Minister of Economy, Dainius Kreivys, confused public and private interests while making favorable decisions to support a company in which the co-owner is his own mother. During a press conference held at the Ministry of Economy, Kreivys read resignation statement and briefly commented that he was surprised and disagrees with the findings of the Ethics Commission. The minister affirmed that he intends to appeal the commission’s decision to court. “I have been swamped with an avalanche of lies”, said the Minister of Economy. “I am not indifferent to what Lithuania will look like to our children and grandchildren after 20 or more years”, said Kreivys.
During the latter months the controversial story of Minister of Economy of Lithuania Dainius Kreivys presented more and more questions to discuss. Why is Prime Minister Kubilius defending his minister? What was written in that mysterious note? Is Kreivys to disclose some large scale corruption case? Or, according to weekly newsmagazine Veidas, is he just a scapegoat?
The scandal began in January when media spread the message throughout the country claiming that possessions of the Minister of Economy Dainius Kreivys suddenly increased up to 170 million LTU. Yet, turns out it was just a media canard as no real evidence was found. Then a Chief Official Ethics Commission started the investigation on request of the opposition leader of Seimas Algirdas Butkevičius. In the report D. Kreivys was alleged of confusing public and private interests while participating in making decisions related to the companies whose main shareholder is minister’s mother. The Minister of Economy however refused all the accusations.
