It is high time to take the Lithuanian government and Lithuanian businesses to the dustbin of history

 "On Saturday, professor, signatory and politician Aloyzas Sakalas announced that he had been vaccinated with a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

 

    “Yesterday, on the recommendation and assistance of my wife Daiva, I was vaccinated against COVID-19 for the third time. This shows my and Daiva's attitude towards vaccinations,” - A. Sakalas is quoted on D. Sakalė's facebook account. A. Sakalas was surprised by the expression of opinions on social networks. "I have read facebook comments which show that some commentators have only his truth and all others are unworthy, I was worried because one and only one opinion is typical of dictatorial states and not democracies," - he continues.

 

    In a democracy, all parties are heard in the public sphere, but standards such as respect for the human person and his or her dignity are not violated.

 

    

 

    "The attempts of some government officials, doctors and commentators to use the tragedy of a young family to advertise vaccines were also unpleasantly surprising.

 

    

 

    Only facts that do not interfere with respect for the deceased, his / her relatives and the patient's (deceased's) secrets, dignity, personal data should be used for advertising. Emotions must not be used for advertising, the deceased must not be a tool in political struggles with opponents, as this only deepens the pain of loved ones. It should not be in a public space. In a democratic state, all sides are heard in the public space, but such standards as respect for a person and his dignity are not violated," - A. Sakalas concluded his thoughts."

 

Lithuanian Conservative and Liberal government, as well as the businesses that finance it and operate in Lithuania, treat their compatriots inhumanely. It is long overdue to take such government and such businesses to the dustbin of history.
