At the same time, he vows to register a bill on Thursday that would prevent such actions.
“The beach of R.Šimašius becomes a symbol of desecration of the square that recalls the suffering of the nation. In the course of history, the occupants of various hairs used this plaza to humiliate the Nation: they killed the participants in the uprisings and the resistance, they built monuments that glorified the power of occupation, with the aim of erasing the memory of the Nation. It hurts me to see that today, under the guise of Freedom won by the Nation, exactly the same thing is being done: the sand on the beach is trying to swallow the historical memory, alive with the blood of Freedom Fighters “, announced R. Karbauskis on Facebook on Wednesday.

“Tomorrow, together with our colleagues in the Seimas, we will register a bill that will prevent the desecration of Lukiškės Square,” added the ruling leader.

Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius, according to R. Karbauskis, seeks cheap popularity through such uncoordinated actions.
“I believe that such steps by the mayor of Vilnius are the electoral campaign of the Freedom Party, in which many efforts are being made to try to use the word ‘freedom’ everywhere and thus increase the visibility of the party’s name,” says R. Karbauskis.
He also promises to start a discussion asking if the municipality can continue to care for Lukiškės Square and whether it would not be worthwhile for another institution to take responsibility for Lukiškės Square.
“I will also invite members of the Seimas and the Government to request the police institutions to evaluate the actions of the Vilnius municipality in turning Lukiškės Square into a beach, organizing events of a vague nature, the sole purpose of which is to popularize the party under the Freedom disguise undermining historical memory, “said R. Karbauskis.
The city municipality announced on Monday morning that the installation of an artificial beach would begin at Lukiškės Square in the center of Vilnius.
1,660 square meters This week, the beach was dumped in the part of Lukiškės Square, near Gediminas Avenue, about 300 cubic meters of sand were used for this purpose.
The beach will be on the square throughout the summer, and next to it until the end of July there will be a large screen, the content of which is in charge of Telia: movies, series, Telia TV concerts and views of the Baltic Sea will be shown every night during the day.

The Vilnius mayor explained that the beach at Lukiškės Square was installed to enjoy the freedom he had gained.
“The fact that this beach is in this place is, at least for me and for many, an association that we can finally enjoy our freedom. Because there were so many things in this place, there were protests from both totalitarian regimes, there were really attempts to do bad things, but today we see happy people and we can celebrate the fact that we are winners in our fight for freedom, “he said Tuesday. a press conference in Lukiškės Square, said the mayor of the capital.
The mayor said that the idea of installing a beach in the center of Vilnius arose due to the threat of coronavirus during the quarantine, when the travel of the population was very limited.
Due to this decision, the municipality and the mayor of the capital, R.Šimašius, received several criticisms, it is claimed that this project is not suitable for Lukiškės Square, and it is also criticized for not consulting either the public or the council or Municipal administration.
