Lithuania Weekly: Protest’s Echoes

Kremlin-aligned outlets this week heavily concentrated on anti-government sentiments. Majority of the most engaged stories from this type of media covered domestic issues, harshly criticising either specific officials or the whole government in general. Issues related to Ukraine also remained of high importance, narratives concerning its prioritisation over Lithuania’s domestic issues and Ukraine’s “hardly possible” victory, were highly prominent. Of way lesser importance, but still prominent was the narrative covering war between Israel and Hamas. This time, far more articles emphasised military actions from Israel towards Gaza than in the previous period.

Main narratives:

  • General anti-government sentiments;
  • Government is working against the citizens;
  • Officials are self-benefiting from “ordinary citizens”
