For this, both interlocutors may be subject to administrative liability.

The CEC acknowledged that the recordings of their meeting posted on V. Uspaskich and E. Dragūnas’ Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts last September and October were hidden advertisements because they were not flagged accordingly.

The Labor Party paid for these ads to the company, which was hired to run the Seimas’ election advertising spot.

Representatives of the Labor Party in the CEC claimed that they are hastily forgetting to mark these records as political publicity. He stressed that neither E. Dragūnas nor the other people involved had received payment for the advertising.

The singer, for his part, told the CEC on his social media profiles that he had posted a meeting with V. Uspaskich to inform fans about his life and not to promote or advertise a politician or his party.

According to E. Dragūnas, if he had marked the entry as a political advertisement, he would have misled his followers, as they would have the impression that he was calling for a vote for the Labor Party, and had no such intentions.

The Seimas elections took place on October 11.

The Labor Party was third through them, at 9.43 percent. voters’ votes.
