Agnė Širinskienė, a representative of the Democratic Union 'For Lithuania' led by former Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis, stated that the recent raids in the Seimas took many by surprise and suggest that claims of Skvernelis' significant influence over law enforcement may have been overstated. Despite previous discussions about his alleged power within institutions, Skvernelis himself has dismissed such claims as exaggerated.

The raids come in the context of ongoing scrutiny of Skvernelis and his associates, particularly following allegations made against his aide, Agnė Silickienė, regarding bribery related to the State Plant Protection Service. However, Širinskienė emphasized that there had been no indications linking Skvernelis directly to the recent scandal, and the developments seem to highlight a disconnect between perceptions of his influence and the reality of the situation.

These events might reflect broader implications for Lithuanian politics, particularly regarding accountability in government and law enforcement. As the investigation unfolds, it will be crucial to watch how these narratives evolve and whether they will affect public perception of political leaders involved.
