Watch the “Great TV3 debates” from the House of Lords, conducted by Edmundas Jakilaitis, live and on TV3 television.
“This debate is unique in that it will be open to the public. As the debate broadcaster TV3 declares that it is the people’s television, this debate will also be for the people. The questions we will ask the candidates will be precisely those that concern the public the most”, asserts E. Jakilaitis.
Viewers can expect a simple, comprehensible, yet engaging format – classic debates will be accompanied by conversations and discussions about the most important issues and challenges ahead. And while the debate will have strict rules, it will also leave space for the candidates to debate with each other.
“Candidates are waiting for a round of questions, as well as my personal questions for specific candidates. However, the greatest uniqueness of this Friday’s debate is that a large part of the questions that I will convey to the candidates have already been asked or will be asked by the readers of the tv3.lt news portal. These issues are ranked, so it will be obvious which issues are the most pressing for the public,” says the presenter.
Although, according to E. Jakilaitis, one can get the impression from the questions asked by the residents and their assessment that the most important topics for society are security, social welfare and international political issues, the final decision of the undecided voters will be determined by many other factors.
“I think that it is no less important than the content of the answer for voters to see what impression the candidate leaves. The final decision is determined by many factors: how the candidate answers, how he behaves, how he reacts to others, whether he is easily distracted, whether he is a cold professional or emotional. It is important for residents to form an image of a person – whether that person can be trusted or not”, the journalist shares his opinion.
A subpage of tv3.lt was created especially for this debate.
The debate lasted for almost 3 hours without breaks – during the advertising break on television, viewers will continue to be able to watch the speeches of the candidates on various issues online, on the news portal tv3.lt.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, viewers will be invited to wait together for the results of the Presidential elections with a special program from 9:30 p.m. – “TV3 news. Elections”.
