Tomaszewski decides: MP or MEP

© DELFI (K.Čachovskio nuotr.)

Next week the leader of the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania is going to decide whether  he is going to be an MP in the Lithuanian parliament or is he going to hand over his seat in the Seimas to Irina Rozowa and become an MEP instead.   

”The final decision hasn’t been taken yet. As a chairman of the party I incline to work in the Seimas but there are also other aspects connected to our partners in the election campaign. Our partners need to enter parliament as well because they took an active part in the election campaign”, explained Tomaszewski.

The AWPL leader confirmed that the seat in the Seimas would be handed over to Irina Rozowa from the Russian Alliance.
