The Parliament Chancellery refused to provide information about Agnė Silickienė's work in the Seimas to social democrats
The Lithuanian Parliament Chancellery denied a request for information concerning Agnė Silickienė's tenure in the Seimas, citing personal data protection.
The Seimas Chancellery of Lithuania has refused a request from the Social Democrats for information regarding Agnė Silickienė's work within the Parliament. This refusal was justified by citing personal data protection laws. Silickienė served as an advisor when Saulius Skvernelis was the Speaker of the Seimas, and her activities during that time have come under scrutiny amid broader investigations involving political figures.
The request for information was made by MP M. Katelynas on January 8, asking for details about the specific periods Silickienė held positions at the Chancellery and whether she faced any disciplinary actions or was rewarded during her tenure. The Chancellery was expected to respond within 20 working days, which would have been no later than February 5. However, the response was delayed until February 9, after news emerged about Special Investigation Service (STT) raids in the offices of Skvernelis and conservative MP Kazys Starkevičius.
Katelynas expressed frustration about the delays in receiving the information, particularly in light of ongoing investigations that could have implications for those involved. The situation highlights tensions within the Lithuanian political landscape, especially regarding transparency and accountability in government activities, which are further complicating the current political discourse.
