“In Lithuania, the law allows people to receive donations only for campaign accounts. The cases in which politicians form associations during or just before a political campaign and then seek funding for their accounts and use the funds raised to increase their visibility raise many questions about the legitimacy and transparency of their actions. Especially when donors live in third countries. Since the money could have been transferred from the US, I feel compelled to inform His Excellency the Ambassador about the possibly non-transparent actions, which we will also ask the Lithuanian authorities to evaluate, “says R. Karbauskis.

Astravas AE” In the United States.
Without responding to Delfi’s publication about the allegedly illegal financing of the electoral campaign, the elders of the factions that make up the ruling coalition in the Seimas appealed to the Lithuanian Christian Democrats of the Fatherland, the Liberal Movement and the CN Sąjūdis v . Astravo to answer questions about possible politicians do not raise funds for the electoral accounts, but for the treasury of an association created just before the start of the electoral campaign, recalls ELTA.

The TS-LKD, the Liberal Movement and the CN Sąjūdis v. Astravo, among other things, to provide the list of people to whom financial assistance mentioned in the published minutes will be requested, and to ask what is the amount of support agreed.
“What connects Ž. The Cuban flag and unidentified people who were consulted about financial support? Are these the same people as in 2019? In the late 19th century, did you come to Lithuania and try to stop the process of ratifying the EU-Cuba Treaty? If so, wouldn’t you think that financial support in this case amounts to political corruption, when money is received from stakeholders for a political service (an attempt to block a geopolitically significant EU treaty that seeks to change the orientation of Cuba to the West instead of Russia)? “The elders of the ruling coalition factions asked.
