“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.
