President Gitanas Nausėda believes that the political crisis in Lithuania, which was caused by the municipal expenses scandal, may be solved either by a snap election or a Cabinet reshuffle.
President Gitanas Nausėda has stated that Minister of Finance Gintarė Skaistė and Minister of Culture Simonas Kairys should not be nominated to the new Government. Both of them are involved in the scandal over opaque spending of public funds on expenses when they used to be municipal councillors before joining the Cabinet after the 2020 parliamentary election.
Journalist, TV host and public activist Andrius Tapinas has obtained financial reports on expenses at Jonava District Municipal Council and published information about potential misuse of public funds, including suspicious purchases of fuel by multiple councillors.
