“Let’s take the procedure for appointing judges of the Supreme Court – there is an open competition, everyone can apply. The Council of Judges, as the equivalent of the attestation commission MFA, evaluates, ranks in a certain sense and submits the entire list to the president,” Frederiks Janson, the president’s chief adviser, told Žiniai Radio on Tuesday morning.

“I think that such a system in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would benefit everyone and would be much more transparent, much simpler, there would be much less doubt regarding what influences the choice of one or another surname that is brought to the president,” he added.

The presidency proposes changes amid continuing disagreements over the appointment of the Lithuanian ambassador to Poland.

The chancellor of the Presidency wrote to the chancellor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, requesting to submit to President Gitanas Nausėdas documentation regarding the selection contests conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of candidates for the heads of Lithuanian diplomatic missions, including the embassy in Poland, presidential adviser Ridas Jasilionis informed BNS on Tuesday evening.

According to F. Janson, now, during the selection of ambassadors by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the list of its participants is not presented to the president.

“Selection, of course, should and might be improved,” he said.

At the end of December, F. Janson said that the dispute over the appointment of new ambassadors arose because the clan of “statesmen” is trying to seize important positions.

The so-called clan of statesmen was reported to the National Security and Defense Committee of the Seimas in 2006 during a parliamentary investigation into the activities of the State Security Department.

“Statesmen” is informally called a group of civil servants and officials who may have had an impact beyond their powers on the most important political and economic processes in Lithuania.

Those in power claim that the accusations of the Presidency are unfounded and recall the work of F. Jansons in the “Respublikas” group of publications.

At that time, it was closely associated with the presidential election campaign of Roland Paks, which took place two decades ago, and F. Janson worked there for more than a decade until 2004, he was the editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper at that time.

Those in power warn that the presidential adviser’s statements show that G. Nausėda’s 2024 presidential election campaign may be permeated with a similar supra-systemic approach.

Lithuanian Ambassador to Poland Eduardas Borisovas was recalled from his position following the end of his term of office on September 7, 2023, the embassy is currently headed by Minister Plenipotentiary Audronė Markevičienė.

G. Nausėda said that he does not emphasize the stalled appointment of the ambassador to Poland and urges him not to stir up excitement in an even place.

The Moroccan fruit market is witnessing a skyrocketing price increase for bananas and apples, with the price of one kilogram reaching 20 dirhams, an unprecedented record.

This sudden increase in the price of these two fruits, which Moroccans greatly buy, has sparked a wave of resentment and anger among many people, who have criticised their transformation from a popular fruit available to everyone to a luxury commodity that is difficult to buy in light of the difficult economic conditions experienced by many Moroccan families.

According to professionals, the reasons for the increase are mainly due to the lack of supply, as they point out that local production of bananas during the summer is very small, in addition to the high cost of importing bananas due to a severe crisis resulting from natural disasters and bad weather conditions.

Regarding apples, they confirmed that apples are not available in the wholesale market today, but rather there are only small quantities that were stored in the “frigo” because it is not their season, and thus their price reached 20 dirhams in some areas and 25 dirhams in other areas.

They agreed that the multiplicity of intermediaries plays an important role in the rise in prices, as a single shipment of bananas, apples and other fruits is sold regarding six times in the markets before it reaches the citizens.

In response to this issue, Abdel Razzaq Al-Shabi, President of the Wholesale Market Association for Vegetables and Fruits, revealed that there is a severe shortage in production due to weak rainfall and successive years of drought, in addition to the damage to some fruits by natural factors such as cold or heat waves.

Al-Shabi explained that this year’s production is less than last year’s of most fruits, noting that the rise in banana and apple prices during this period is linked to the end of their seasons.

The same speaker stressed that there is a shortage in Agadir during this period because we are not in the banana production season, as its abundance begins in September, while apples are not available in the market because the end of their season was in May, adding that what is currently available is called “hala”, which is in the summer, while imported apples are only used for occasions and weddings.
