"As regards candidates for agriculture and environment ministers, we have an agreement at least within the party. As I understand, the candidates suit Paluckas as well," she said without revealing their names.

According to the MP, the Nemunas Dawn is still looking for the third candidate who would be nominated as the minister of justice.

On Monday, President Gitanas Nausėda vowed not to appoint members of the Nemunas Dawn to the Government as the party’s leader Remigijus Žemaitaitis is accused of antisemitism. Instead, the party is expected to nominate independents.

As reported, following parliamentary elections in October, the Social Democratic Party (LSDP) agreed on the ruling coalition with Democrats For Lithuania and the Nemunas Dawn.

The move sparked much criticism as Žemaitaitis, leader of the Nemunas Dawn, is accused of making antisemitic and other inflammatory statements on social media. President Nausėda said the LSDP made a mistake by creating a coalition with the Nemunas Dawn.
