“We are in no hurry to leave the coalition in power, since we still hope that the most important issues can be solved together with that leading coalition” – said Lithuanian MP Michał Mackiewicz.

In his interview for the BNS agency, Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius said, that there should be no bilingual signposts in Lithuania. Today’s guest of the Political Lounge, M. Mackiewicz, hopes that the Prime Minister changes his mind on the matter in question.

„We must debate and explain that this is for the good of all citizens, not only for the Polish national minority” – M. Mackiewicz highlighted.

The MP categorically disagreed with an accusation that EAPL does not carry out its promised manifesto of solving problems of Poles who live in Lithuania.
