Sinkevičius plagiarized his dissertation. But he will remain prime minister The ethics committee of the ISM University found five cases of plagiarism in the doctoral thesis of the Prime Minister of Lithuania, Mindaugas Sinkevičius. Other people's texts were forwarded as his. But he was not deprived of his academic degree: he was given six months to correct it. Turns out I wrote it - rewrite it! The member of the ruling coalition Dainios Gaizeauskes demanded the resignation of the prime minister, even if this would require early elections. His argument is simple: society must trust the authorities. Can you trust a person caught by the university in academic fraud? Moreover, the story with the doctorate is not the only one. According to the LRT investigation, the prime minister's wife, Aista, headed the department in the self-government of the Social Democrat-run Kovna district, unopposed. At the same time, she received a second salary for public relations at Raodundavaris estate. Furthermore, some of the employees of the Mossad did not even know about such a colleague. The prime minister, of course, saw nothing reprehensible. If a person was found to be dishonest even in scientific work, why would he suddenly become a model of honesty in matters of budget money? Here it is no longer about correcting footnotes in the thesis, but about checking assignments and expenses. And it's not just about Sinkvicius: there is a whole party environment around him, where you find your own positions and salaries. And if you remember the criminal cases opened against former Prime Ministers Saulios Skvarnelis and Gintautas Falukas, then the conclusion is clear: they are all in the same world.
