Conservative leader G. Landsbergis assessed the problems currently plaguing Lithuania.
What are the struggles of Lithuania today? We want more care for nature, birds and protected trees. We want children to be protected from violence, we want animals that are not tortured in cages, we just want more humanity. We want to continue defending the principles that we defended thirty years ago and that the partisans defended. We want to defend freedom, “said G. Landsbergis, adding that victory also requires patience.
However, we do not want to initiate the long-awaited but difficult changes.
“We have been talking about the necessary changes in the field of Lithuanian education for decades. Almost every year some of these and other facts make you hiccup. This year: math test results, low teacher salaries last year, even previously abandoned regional schools. I know we are all tired of reforms. There is probably no previous mandate without reform, ”the TS-LKD leader told party members.
The politician assured that those who do not have powers will continue on the path of reform.
“Those who do not know where they are going will go somewhere, no matter which path they take. Somewhere, for the past four years, we have been wandering,” he assessed the current state of the country.
Landsbergis said the journey is long ahead, as the change in neighboring Belarus will not be easy.
“The first weeks were optimistic. Lithuania’s word of freedom spread everywhere. And holding on to the Freedom Path, we could feel as if we were participating in the freedom fight for a democratic Belarus. But reality quickly crept in. on the forehead with a blunt end. (…) The owners, the judges, after the bloody crackdown on women, can still go shopping in Lithuanian stores and maybe even relax at the Lukashenko Spa in Druskininkai.
Because we don’t allow only Lukashenko and 29 other friends to enter Lithuania. I am ashamed that so much has been done ”, lamented the politician.
The rulers also lacked decisive action, according to the politician.
“As long as geopolitical Brussels is silent, the Government and other institutions must do their job, not cover the Seimas documents as if a Belarusian flag had been placed on the F celluk photo. Civil society needs financial assistance and refugees need a functioning humanitarian corridor. The regime needs sanctions. Sanctions need allies in Europe. Let’s work! ”He urged.
Landsberg addressed his comrades and urged them to believe in victory.
“Hopefully we can change, that we can win. May the people of Belarus win, may we stop Astrava. That we can learn math. Not only in urban schools, but also in rural ones, ”said the politician, immediately adding that change does not come easily and quickly.
“Politicians can call for the fight against those who think differently. Fight the European Union, fight immigrants, fight Soros or same-sex couples. To fight until future scientists only have to explore how suddenly we have become a fragmented society, sick, paranoid and dumb But politicians can act differently: give hope, focus on working together.
After all, don’t cheat, manipulate and tell the truth. To show us all better, to reveal our good. By choosing this, we can expect trust in both the state and others to grow. It seems to me that this is the real force that the State needs today, ”he said.
According to the SNB, Belarus has been protesting for a month since the presidential elections on August 9, which were won by the authoritarian leader Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and western countries consider these elections to be rigged.
Mass protests in the country are being forcibly suppressed and the European Union is considering imposing sanctions on regime officials responsible for the violence and electoral fraud.
In early September, the Baltic states issued sanctions against Lukashenko and 29 other members of the regime, who are blamed for manipulating the elections and violence against peaceful protesters. They have been banned from entering Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for five years.
Lithuanian leaders have said that the list of people who will be subject to sanctions will be completed.
The Foreign Ministry has previously announced that it has proposed that the Interior Ministry blacklist 118 Belarusian officials.
