SocDem leader: conservatives suffered defeat in municipal elections

Leader of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP), MEP Vilija Blinkevičiūtė, says the Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD) suffered a defeat in 2023 municipal and mayoral elections.

“The Conservatives probably realise that these mayoral and municipal elections are not a victory for them. I would dare to say that in a sense it is a defeat because four years ago they had 11 mayors elected but this year just 5. This once again proves that Lithuanian people do not trust the Conservative party and perhaps it should draw certain conclusions from that,” Blinkevičiūtė stated Monday at a press conference held by the news agency ELTA.
