“I feel like the last half year before me, an attack of lies and slander has been actively organized on social media and in internet comments, mentioning that my grandfather was a KGB officer. It damages my reputation, it damages my activities political and finally blackens my only grandfather, who is still with us, who is called Kazimieras, and has nothing to do with the KGB, ”said A. Armonaitė.

Addressing the Prosecutor’s Office and the SSD, A. Armonaitė points out that the false information is actively shared in the comments of the online portals, it is disseminated in various groups, comments and records of the Facebook social platform. In recent months, as the Seimas elections approach, the scale of defamation has clearly increased.

“I think this time I was deliberately chosen to cause the greatest possible harm to myself. I am tolerant of criticism, I understand that not everyone can like me, my actions can be criticized and that is correct for everyone. However, knowingly spreading a lie against a person is a crime, and organizers must be held accountable for it. From a national security point of view, this is a fake news attack on a Seimas member, which undermines not only a person’s reputation, but also trust in the country’s democratic institutions, “said A. Armonaitė.
