Lithuania Weekly: Belittling Living Conditions in Lithuania

Main narratives:

• General anti-government sentiments;
• Ukraine is prioritised over Lithuania and its domestic issues;
• The incompetence of the current government.

Overview:

Although the articles covered a wide range of subjects, a common theme was a highly critical stance toward the government. 

These articles presented various criticisms aimed at undermining the quality of life in the country, including claims such as “supermarkets use self-service checkouts to exploit customers and increase profits,” a complete condemnation of Lithuania’s court system, and allegations that all government officials are stealing money for personal gain. 

Additionally, the articles focused on discrediting future candidates for the upcoming parliamentary elections this autumn, while criticizing the election process and making derogatory remarks about “the disgraceful nation that Lithuanians have become.”
