Lithuania’s Socialist Democrats have won the country’s parliamentary election, capitalizing on widespread frustration over rising living costs and concerns about Russia. The party’s leader, Vilija Blinkeviciute, says the results show people want change. They’re expected to form a coalition government with two smaller parties.
Why Did the Opposition Win?
Soaring inflation, poor public services, and a growing wealth gap hurt the current government’s popularity.
What’s Next?
The Socialist Democrats promise to tackle inequality by taxing the rich to fund healthcare and social support.
Security Concerns
Lithuania borders Russia and Belarus, making national security a top concern. The country spends heavily on defense, but many fear a potential Russian attack. The new government faces big challenges: balancing the economy and keeping the country safe. Will they deliver the change Lithuanians want?
