Rimvydas Valatka. Not my sheep, not my beans

The ewes and lambs were left to the elements for one more night. Only on Saturday, when the owner of the sheep was finally found, or maybe just scared by the outrage, the rescue operation was started. Even the heads of the district came to the place to observe with authority.

But they are living creatures. Would a dog or a cat be left at night and dangerously trapped in such a careless way, based on the sacred right of ownership? Because there is no owner? After all, since when do firefighters rush to a fire and ask the owner if he will let them put out his burning shed?

And what if the authorities had not called the owner on Saturday? If the water in Nevėžys had risen even more during the night and the sheep would have died by morning? Still legal? Reporters wrote that the rescued sheep were wandering, some were completely powerless, and in the end three were pulled out dead.

Not my sheep, not my beans. In the words of the LDDP classic, all lawso come clean with your morals.

At the same time as half a dozen sheep and lambs were wandering in the waters of the overflowing Nevėžis in the village of Pašilii, the presidential debate between the candidate Mazuronis and Žemaitaitis, who grossly violated the Constitution and broke the oath given to the nation, was broadcast on Lithuanian radio waves.

Try to listen. Let’s say it out loud, syllabifying: the Constitutional Court has just decided that Žemaitaitis broke the oath given to the nation. The decision is not subject to appeal.

Tell me that this does not mean that he is a traitor to the Lithuanian nation. But still he is given airtime, without a single mention that here is a citizen who grossly violated the Constitution is applying for the highest post of the state. Absurd.

Don’t dare to be angry, don’t even doubt. We have nothing to do here, the Supreme Electoral Commission arranged it this way, that’s why we do it this way. The CEC will tell you to jump into the well too… Old man, how is it somehow unclear after spending so many years in the media that the CEC requires all candidates to be given airtime to speak, no matter who they are?

All laws. Everything is legal. Therefore, come to terms with your morals. But are we okay with our heads if a guy who has violated the Constitution and broken his oath to the nation can make such a big mockery of common sense and law and justice as such?

What if we try again? If the reporter who moderates the debate declares on the eve of the debate that he refuses to do so, if a guy who has grossly violated the Constitution and broken his oath to the nation will be on the show?

Nothing, not even the law, and especially the CEC, cannot legally compel a journalist to write and speak and broadcast something that contradicts his beliefs. As did another reporter appointed to replace him. Like all LRT journalists and technical staff – no one could force them to behave uncivilly.

Editorial codes of ethics are also being written for this. If the ethics inspector can decide that the journalist V. Savukynas violated ethics only because he critically evaluated the decision of the Minister of Justice on Facebook, with such pietism it will certainly be possible to defend the employees who refused to broadcast the program with the member of the Seimas who broke the oath given to the nation.

But the CEC would still enforce the law?

Maybe. Most likely. Just wondering how? Will you contact the police? The police will storm the LRT, so that the guy who broke his oath to the nation can blather on Lithuania unhindered? It would be a scandal and most likely an international one. The police would hardly sign after that. The CEC should go to court.

Bingo. If we can’t save the lambs from destruction without their owner, all the more we must be a state of law in this case. And it would be interesting, and most importantly, it would be useful to know how the judge would judge?

Could the judge afford to sentence the policemen and firefighters if they had saved those 50 sheep and lambs from further suffering on Friday, without waiting for the approval of the proud sheep owner, and the owner had complained about it to the court? Maybe no.

In the same way, if a judge knows that he must judge not only based on the law, but also on common sense, he or he himself will admit that it is not legal when a person who has changed the Constitution and broken the oath given to the nation uses the airwaves guaranteed by the rule of law to run for a position that requires giving an even greater oath to the nation and to strictly adhere to the Constitution, or will apply for clarification to the Constitutional Court due to a possible objection to the Constitution.

Because there can be no greater injustice in the state than violations of the Constitution and breaking the oath given to the nation. Like the toleration of the actor who did it after the fact, justifying that, well, the law may be against it, but here it is what the CEC said. Not my pigs, not my beans usually end up with Yanukovych, Orban, Ivanishvili, and finally Hitler-Putin himself.

Neither journalists, nor the CEC, nor lawyers, nor politicians, nor the public reacted. So no one was surprised anymore, and the information of that day was rare with the exact title “Curious situation in the Seimas – Amendments to the Criminal Procedure, submitted by the imprisoned Vytautas Gapšios, are being considered”.

At the same time when sheep were legally drowning in the Kėdainiai district, and Žemaitaitis, who had broken his oath to the nation and grossly violated the Constitution, was having a legal debate on the radio, the Law and Order Committee of the Seimas debated for a long time and argued how to deal with Article 304 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. by the amendment project submitted by Gapšius, a Labor citizen who grossly violated the Constitution and broke his oath to the nation, but who continues to receive the salary of a member of the Seimas.

If you step on the Constitution, it’s a coat. Everything is legal, approved by the votes of Seimas members.

And then, turning around, we all continued to complain with pathos that our partner, the most powerful EU state, which has a hundred Patriot systems, did not send even one additional one of the seven that were begged by Russia’s missiles to hit Ukraine day and night in four months.

Know that here too all law. Greece, Spain, Poland. Italian and other prime ministers can sincerely repeat many times that everything is legal here as well – they cannot give “Patriot” to Ukraine, which is being beaten by Russia, because of this, and the third and fourth.

This is how we live. Rightfully choosing to do nothing instead of doing. Well, not my sheep (pigs), not mine and beans. fight back
