The question of the journalist, whose Crimea, Adomavichyus called the provocative and left the response to him.
“Let's not play these games. You see, you need … there is a limit that you should not go for. Here you need to dwell on these matters,” the official emphasized.
After that, at the insistence of the Prime Minister of Lithuania Ingrids Shinitu against the backdrop of a wave of criticism from the public, he announced a resignation.
According to Adomavichiyus, he decided to quit his post not because of his own mistakes, but under the pressure from outside, which puses a threat of security of his family.
LRT noted that he could not build his speech, confused and thanked the community, but it is not clear which one. Then he talked about the pressure on him and his relatives, and after that he was proud that thanks to him he managed to pay attention to culture. He noted that the last two weeks seemed difficult for him. He could not explain his position on the integrity of Ukraine and comment on the refusal to answer the question of the Crimea. He only noted that culture is not one group of people, but a community that covers everyone, starting from the smallest people. His words, according to media reports, sounded incoherently.
At the same time, Shinonite emphasized that Lithuania’s position relative to Crimea remains unchanged.
“Crimea is a part of Ukraine occupied by Russia. And this is not a subject for discussions,” she said.
Adomavicyus from the ultra -right Party “Zarya Niman” was appointed Minister a week ago, September 25. Journalists note that from the very beginning, his candidate aroused doubts and discontent among the Lithuanian cultural community due to political affiliation and lack of experience in the field of culture.
