Nemunėlis Radviliškis has not seen so many people in a long time; According to unofficial data, some 700 people saw the concert of B. Wilkin and I. Jarmolenka in the Valley of Songs. Rapper Julian Verdee appeared with them on Nemunėlis Radviliškis, according to a press release.
“When you perform in Lithuanian regions, you often have to visit various cities and towns. When you leave the big cities, you find yourself in a different reality: the roads are not paved, the villages are not lit, there are no basic services: water supply and sewerage system, not to mention heating. But the biggest concern is simply the disappearance of the towns: young people are emigrating en masse because they do not see prospects in the province. Lack of work, practically no entertainment. Not only that, in most districts, municipalities are closing the libraries, schools, and dispensaries of small cities and towns, saving money and leaving these settlements with no future. Both parliament and government pay little attention to the regions. Villages exist only thanks to active local communities.
During the concert at Nemunėlis Radviliškis, we were convinced that great people live in the Biržai region. Despite a series of unsolved problems, they remained sincere, hospitable, benevolent, and hoped that officials would pay attention to villages and small towns. We are glad that we managed to bring many good emotions and joy to Nemunėlis Radviliškis. We plan to continue the social campaign in the future too, “says Beata Wilkin-Judickienė, soloist Funky.
Singer Igor Jarmolenka noted that most small Lithuanian cities or towns are practically impossible to reach by public transport.
“Suburban buses to villages go to settlements only a few times a week. I am not talking about the fact that in some areas, passengers still transport Soviet-era PEACE buses. By the way, going to villages by transport Private is also a big challenge: gravel roads are poorly maintained and virtually impassable in spring, fall and winter, and in summer you can spray all your teeth until you reach your destination.
Before the Seimas elections, candidates for parliament travel in luxury villages. In fact, before going to the Seimas, they would have to live in the country for about five years, then they would have a better understanding of the problems of ordinary people. Perhaps then they would solve them and they would not waste time on beach disputes in the capital or other political disputes, “says I. Jarmolenka.
According to him, the problem of open-air baths has become a special problem for residents of Lithuanian villages. The state does not help the population to solve it and modernize the sewerage systems. Instead, it dispatches environmental inspectors to the villages, who punish residents en masse for outdoor toilets. As you know, Lithuania does not meet the requirements of the European Commission’s Wastewater Directive. Most cities with more than 1,000 people do not have a centralized water supply and sewerage system. And what about small towns?
