A member of the Lithuanian parliament has introduced amendments to the Seimas Statute aimed at imposing fines on politicians who persistently breach the Code of Ethics. The lawmaker emphasizes that while the work of the Ethics and Procedures Commission is important, its decisions lack respect due to the absence of real consequences for violations. She argues that politicians who breach ethical standards do not learn from their mistakes and continue to disregard the commission's rulings, potentially leading to repeat offenses.
