Let's take an example from Orban's Hungary, let's stop electing "very militant" politicians to power in Lithuania, politicians who are blocking our establishment in the world

 ""Invest in Lithuania" announced this week quite positive 2023 results of foreign direct investment (FDI), the head of the agency, Elijus Čivilis, says that in 2024, one can expect "all or nothing":

Another thing, it is clear that the US anti-inflationary package had a big impact, according to which the country began to subsidize the return of production to itself "mindlessly". It's not uncommon for us to lose projects to the US, we've never even competed with them, but some companies are finding better value propositions there. Europe has now come to grips with the need for some sort of response. (...) This is a greater role of the state in financing the transformation, the green economy. And in Europe, countries such as Poland have announced 350 million euro green economy fund for investors. That is, incoming investors can receive subsidies. The Hungarians did the same with 1.2 billion euros. Meanwhile, in Lithuania we have neither place for businesses nor anything similar for foreign investors.

If any Hungarian project receives up to 300 mln. EUR subsidy, our entire annual budget is 48 million. euros. (...) The second thing is that other countries are much more aggressive in attracting investment, they do it with foreign embassies, they have a whole network of people who directly visit those companies abroad and put pressure on them at their home. Unfortunately, we do not have such funding and we do everything very opportunistically.

  - How important is political communication in attracting foreign investors? For example, comparing Lithuania and Hungary. In Lithuania, the foreign minister says that it is necessary to prepare for a possible military conflict, while Hungary is appeasing the Kremlin and putting sticks in the wheels of the EU. How much more attractive is this political position of Budapest for an investor?

- Hungary is the country that benefits the most from foreign direct investment. There are indexes that calculate which country generates the most economic benefits through FDI - here Hungary is no. 1 in the world. It seems to us how it can be here, and Hungary seems to be in a very grateful situation for business. This is an EU country, it will remain so anyway, everything will be stable, everything will be available, Hungary nobody will be able to simply take and eliminate. 

Meanwhile, they still have cheap oil, gas, cheap access to energy and great access to Eastern markets. We can be indignant here, we can be not indignant, but we have chosen a value policy, (...) and business still remains quite pragmatic. Hungarians, for example, have never had any problems with exports, with the trasportation of goods from China through Russia. I would even be interested to know how ambitious Hungary is in terms of its policy, and how much it has calculated that it is better for it to cover both worlds."

 

The leaders of Lithuania have remained slaves and sycophants since Soviet times. After all, there are millions of us in the world. Let's elect normal people to lead us.
