“Thank you Vilnius residents and all the people of Lithuania who have given up entertainment at the Klaipeda Sea Festival and are participating here in a very important campaign: the first protest action of its kind against the segregation of people in Lithuania.

“Now healthy people leading a healthy lifestyle are also the most disgusting words …”, said the organizer of the event.
Speakers at the demonstration called vaccination in Lithuania “experimental vaccination”, demanded explanations about who is responsible for human health after vaccination.
