Current position
Ignas Grinevicius (Ignas Grinevičius in lithuanian letters) is a current party president of Lietuvos liberaldemokratai and current minister of community affairs in Lithuania.
Early political career
Ignas Grinevičius entered the political life of eLithuania in August when he was elected to the congress of eLithuania as a wildcard with six votes. In August elections he was representing a party those days called "charazay.com", which he later took over and after a couple of terms renamed to "Geroves sajunga" ("Gerovės sąjunga" if you use lithuanian letters). The name of the party hasn't changed since then even though Ignas is not running the party anymore.
First bigger success
In the October Ignas was noticed by a president manteliuks, who invited him to the government of eLithuania, where Ignas was an assistant of the minister of newborns as well as of the minister of culture, but he was quickly "promoted" to a minister of information.
Becoming a president
Manteliuks was also elected for his second term in September, but in the midway of his term he resigned from presidency after one of neverending collisions with ex-president of eLithuania - cawx. After manteliuks's resignation Ignas (then a minister of information) took over his chair, because he finished second in the October elections. Unfortunately, right after becoming a president Ignas also became a victim of the flu epidemic and went better only at the very end of his term. He still was one of the presidents of the eWorld to sign the Phoenix alliance charter.
December elections
As soon as I.G. got better, he was running for presidency again, but he got crushed by Dionizas in it (Ignas lost the elections by 514 votes) mostly because of his term being pretty horrible.
Political career - December
In Dionizas's government, Ignas was a minister of expansion and tried to find ways to expand eLithuania's population.
Political career - January
Even though Dionizas did not run for presidency, Ignas lost the elections again. This time to Akello (by 233 votes). In Akello's government I.G. was a minister of foreign affairs.
Political career - February
After a lot of losses in the presidential elections Ignas was not very sure about running again, but he was chosen as a candidate in his party - Gerovės sąjunga and accepted to run again. The elections were very tight, but Ignas came up short again, Akello won the elections by 6 votes. I.G. remained MoFA during Akello's second term.
Becoming president again - March
In March, that was finally Ignas's time. Akello did not run for the third time, Ignas beat his main opponent Vytautas Krasauskas by 188 votes and became the president of the eLithuania for the second time. Immediately after getting elected Ignas left his party Gerovės sąjunga, because, as he said, he wanted to be a neutral president. Throughout his term Ignas started a new national bank reports tradition, as well as a congress trading project and the society builder competition.
Ignas's third overall term - April
In April's campaign I.G.'s main goal was to reform the political system of eLithuania and he got a chance to do so - he was elected for the second time in a row and beat his old friend in eRepublik - XerTaLT by 273 votes. For the first time in his presidential campaigns history he was not supported by Gerovės sąjunga and runned as a Sąjūdis, that is probably the most neutral party in eLithuania, member.
