A new investigation by LRT has unveiled an alleged "Social Democrats' Manor" system, reportedly involving regional elites and the spouse of Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius, Aistė Sinkevičienė. Media reports indicate that Mindaugas Sinkevičius's wife is allegedly receiving a second salary from 'Raudondvaris Manor,' a situation that has prompted conservative politicians to consider referring the case to the Chief Official Ethics Commission.
In other ongoing domestic news, the lawyer for priest R. Peciūnas, who is embroiled in a child pornography scandal, has publicly stated that the priest feels unsafe. Meanwhile, prison trade unions are threatening new strikes, this time in response to proposed reductions in inmate pocket money.
Economically, the country faces looming realities requiring immediate decisions. There are updates on the ongoing construction of the National Stadium, with businessman Arvydas Avulis expressing frustrations over challenges. Additionally, the company 'Tesonet' has received approval to acquire 'Grand Hotel Vilnius' in the capital's Old Town, while the restaurant 'Paupio virtuvė' has declared bankruptcy.
