📝 Draft

Representatives for the country's officials have looked at the latest budget draft and found the political will for their priorities lacking. Protests are now being planned; the government’s financial plans and the public sector's expectations appear to be reading from different ledgers. The credit rating agency Fitch has reaffirmed an 'A+' rating, providing a moment of fiscal calm even as the Giraitė Armaments Factory prepares to begin the domestic assembly of Emtan automatic rifles. In the capital, police spent a night raid checking hundreds of immigrants and detaining an uninsured driver, while separately dealing with one of their own employees found intoxicated during work hours. Parliamentary initiatives have turned to the height of parcel lockers, with a new proposal to make them accessible to shorter people, seniors, and the disabled. Meanwhile, the real estate portal Aruodas.lt has entered the rental market with a deposit-free scheme, an attempt to bypass the usual barriers to entry for tenants.
