🤝 Bribed

President Gitanas Nausėda has initiated the dismissal of a judge, Kažys, who was convicted of bribery, citing the disgrace brought upon the judicial title. This move comes as the President also discussed internal government tensions, his own feelings of being 'burned out', and his intentions for a second term in office. Nausėda additionally commented on the upcoming national budget, asserting that not all resources are being solely dedicated to defense spending. Meanwhile, strong winds have caused significant disruption, leading to power outages for approximately 2,200 users in the coastal region. Concurrently, Kaunas roads have been plagued by accidents and extensive traffic jams. In other news, a trade union led by Andrius Navickas is advocating for at least a 10% increase in teacher salaries, while a new helpline offering psychological and legal support to educators has been launched. A Lithuanian-created animated film, 'Spike', has premiered on Netflix, with its creators aiming to build it into a world-renowned brand. The State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) has introduced a new, albeit delayed, personal income tax calculator. The price of milk has continued its upward trend for the third consecutive month, and annual inflation in September stood at 6.1%.
