🪑 Seat

Agnė Bilotaitė has resigned her mandate in the Seimas, stating she could no longer delay her decision. She cited the need to dedicate more time to herself and her family. The vacancy will be filled by the conservative politician Masiulis, who returns to parliament with the assurance that his mind is still functioning normally. A construction permit for a new Rheinmetall factory remains pending, leaving the project's timeline in doubt. In the media, 15min has surpassed Delfi to become the country's most-read news portal. Economic rankings placed the country among the 25 freest economies globally, though inflation and trade shifts may make the position a fleeting one. A prosecutor has requested a sentence of restricted liberty for a border guard who shot and killed a smuggler during an encounter. Within the Seimas, officials have formed a working group to review the rules of conduct for both the session hall and the visitor's balcony.
