Lithuania's Energy Minister Ž. Vaičiūnas addressed the media on Thursday, stating that there had been no official discussions concerning potential nominees for deputy minister positions within the Ministry of Energy. This statement comes as the political negotiations involving the 'Nemuno aušra' party's ministerial appointments are still ongoing. The minister suggested that time will reveal how these discussions will unfold as the situation develops.

The context of this statement lies in prior agreements made between the 'Nemuno aušra' party and the Social Democratic Party, which stipulate that the former is entitled to two deputy minister positions in Ministries led by other parties, specifically in Health and Energy. This arrangement highlights the ongoing power-sharing negotiations within the Lithuanian government, especially as the political landscape evolves.

Additionally, reports have surfaced indicating that the 'Nemuno aušra' party has proposed a candidate for the Deputy Minister of Health position, specifically an advisor to parliamentary representative Lina Šukytė-Korsakė. The candidate, Arnomedas Galdikas, is a Klaipeda-based anesthesiologist, suggesting that the appointments will blend political considerations with professional qualifications, which could impact how the ministries are managed in the future.
