Lithuania – a Country of Winning Clan Democracy: Fights for a Hearty Meal

Arūnas Milašius

 

A rather strange elite is forming in Lithuania. Not members of business and science, but members of closed clans, who do not seek to create good, but shoulder to shoulder and biting each other's throats are trying to get to a much simpler thing – a good life without responsibility and, preferably, at someone else's expense.

 

These clans are quite closed and you cannot get there from the street. There are not very many places to eat hearty meals, after all. The competition is huge. You can decide how big it is. The competition for the three positions of independent board members of the Lithuanian Airports was won by Julija Abromavičienė, Oleksandr Laneckij and Mantas Šukevičius. A total of 67 candidates participated in the selection, the LTOU said in a press release. Algirdas Sysas, a member of the Seimas, a man who constantly calls for higher taxes and more redistribution, does not hide his anger when it comes to approving those higher taxes. There are more and more highly paid positions and institutions whose benefits are questionable. What the commission created under the first government to reduce bureaucracy did and how many euros it spent on it – no one knows.”

Why is the unpopular deprivation of citizenship from Lithuanians who have worked hard and lived abroad necessary? To reduce competition for clan members using the wealth of the homeland. It absurdly explains that those who were born in communist Lithuania, ruled by the parents and grandparents of this elite, are not Lithuanians, because they did not receive Lithuanian citizenship at birth, and therefore do not have the right to retain Lithuanian citizenship by acquiring another citizenship. Why is universal conscription needed? To distribute a larger share of the billions of euros per year allocated for defense among their own, without spending it on the purchase of foreign drones and missiles.
