We sincerely apologize to everyone affected by this video, both directly and indirectly. We personally apologize to the LGBTQIA + community. We cannot describe the frustration we felt because the people in our network had such unhealthy intentions to spread their ideologies, ”the company wrote in an official statement.
Their representatives also added that they hope that those responsible for hate speech in Lithuania will be punished.
Changed opinion
15 minutes Remember that a company that represents the company in Lithuania issued a press release to the media on Monday with a controversial video.
The letter from the company representatives wrote not only about the current situation of sports institutions in Lithuania, but also about the problems of the Seimas and discussions about LGBT.
“We are outraged by the ongoing processes in the Seimas – registered projects, where the current focus is on interfering with the upbringing of children as understood by homosexuals, the persecution of dissidents, the strict bans on expressing one’s opinion, legalize drugs or even consider changing children gender. Is this normal? “asked representatives of Kangoo Club Lietuva in a press release.
The attached video contains no less controversial information: he is filmed as a member of the Seimas Petras Gražulis with the shoes produced by the company, in the center of Klaipėda, with 4 other striking men according to an uncensored song, in which the words
The video clip was captured both by the Lithuanian police due to a possible breach of quarantine restrictions, and by the Seimas Ethics and Procedures Commission regarding possible links between P. Gražulis and the product’s advertising.
It appears that by late Monday night, the company’s representatives in Lithuania had changed their minds about the video: it was removed from all platforms along with the press release.
They soon shared an apology on social media stating that the brand’s purpose “was not to offend or belittle groups of people.”
