Overview:

In the past week, local politics and government affairs captured the most attention among readers, with a particular focus on media linked to the Kremlin in Lithuania. Not surprisingly, Presidential elections that took place during the reporting week were in the main spotlight. Interestingly, Kremlin-aligned media presented many articles that held neutral sentiments and impartially covered the election topics. These articles included information on the general number of people able to participate, the active turnout, the number of poll watchers, etc. However, general dissatisfaction with the government and specific candidates remained present in the other part of the media pieces.
