Lithuania parliamentarians initiated the process of depriving the country's citizenship of the skater Margarita Drobyazko, the bronze medalist of the 2000 World Cup, which continues to perform in Russia.
“We hoped that after the adoption of the law there would be no such precedents. Unfortunately, in public space we see that cooperation with the Rups of the Kremlin continues, ”said deputy Dahl Asanavichyute.
According to the speaker of the Legislative Assembly, most likely, the Sejm will support the initiative:
“On this issue we are approaching the final stage. As far as I know, the initiative enjoys support and, most likely, will be approved. ”
The reason that the skater wants to deprive citizenship is cooperation with Tatyana Navka, the wife of Dmitry Peskov, spokeswoman Vladimir Putin. Drryazko and her husband Piwaus Vanagas performed in the performances of Navka Ruslan and Lyudmila and Sleeping Beauty.
In a conversation with the Match TV, Drobyazko said that she was not worried about the initiative of the deputies of the Sejm Lithuania to deprive her of the country's citizenship:
“I cannot influence such decisions. What can I do? This is their business. In principle, everything is in order in life. I have no more comments. ”
Drryazko was born in Moscow, but after the collapse of the USSR, she decided to represent Lithuania with Piwaus Vanagas. They are bronze medalists of the 2000 World Cup in ice dancing.
In the spring of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Sejm adopted the law on citizenship, which introduces the mechanism of deprivation of citizenship provided in the order of exception. It was in this order that Drryazko received the country's citizenship in 1993 to perform at the Olympic Games.
