The campaign of support began on Saturday, when a small group of people gathered at the US Embassy in Vilnius. The participants had attributes that symbolized D. Trumpas, in which “Make America Great Again” was inscribed.
Neringa Kolkaitė, Media Relations Specialist in Vilnius City Municipality, claimed that Vilnius Municipality had been informed about this support campaign, but did not provide permits to organize events in the tower of Gediminas Castle.
“It should be noted that events in or on the entrances to Gediminas Hill must first be coordinated with the National Museum and the Directorate of the Vilnius Castle State Cultural Reserve.
In the middle of this week, the Vilnius city municipality received a notice informing the organizers about the planned event, a campaign dedicated to the support of the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. According to the Assemblies Law, in campaigns involving up to 15 people, the organizers only have to inform the municipality (the procedure for issuing permits for mass events does not apply). In addition, according to the law, the police officers were also informed about the planned campaign, ”commented N. Kolkaitė.

It was seconded by Dovilė Ibianskaitė, a Public Information Specialist for the Vilnius City Municipality. The woman assured the municipality he was informed not only of the planned meeting, but also of the fact that such a note would be raised.
“We have been informed that there will be such a caption that there will be up to five people who will endorse this caption, take photos and everything. We cannot issue or revoke such permits to organize actions on Castle Hill. They just informed us, “he said.
The museum distanced itself
The National Museum of Lithuania also expressed its position on Monday morning. Pasak Arminas Šileikis, specialist in public relations, this campaign was not coordinated with the National Museum of Lithuania.
“The National Museum of Lithuania is distancing itself from the campaign to support Trump on Saturday night near the tower of Gediminas Castle. This campaign was not coordinated with the National Museum of Lithuania, the organizers did not inform the museum about it. The place where the campaign took place is public and is open to visitors. Permits to organize events in the city are issued by the Vilnius City Council, ”said A.Šileikis.
Echoes on social media
As soon as these photos of the support campaign were disseminated on social media, it was thought that the inscription on the Gediminas hill was just a photo montage. However, as Internet users began to share more and more TRUMP images, there was a real storm on social media.
Social media star Karolina Meschino, businessman Daina Bosas, jeweler Jurga Lago and other famous people also responded to this campaign in support of Trump.
meNetizens joked that the organizers of the support campaign were missing a couple of letters for the inscription on the hill to be truly Lithuanian.
