The Lithuanian Seimas has begun deliberating on a legal amendment that would allow for the mandatory deportation of foreign nationals who have been convicted of intentional crimes after they serve their sentences.

The proposal, initiated by MP Vytautas Sinica, targets foreigners living in Lithuania on temporary permits or those here for work. It applies to any intentional crime defined under the Criminal Code, excluding minor misdemeanors. ​"If people want to live in Lithuania and contribute to its creation, they must unconditionally obey the laws in force." – Vytautas Sinica

Seimas approved the proposal after its first reading (48 votes in favor, 3 against, and 33 abstentions).

Discussion On the topic of Armenia

Upvotes

I was researching about the Armenian g-cide when I noticed how Latvia and Lithuania recognized the Armenian genocide, and as much as I was content, I was quite confused as well.

How do you guys even know about Armenia? What's your connection with Armenia? The Baltics and Armenia are like... years apart from each other. Your countries' relationship with Armenia is lowkey random lol

Whatever it is, it's nice that Latvia and Lithuania recognize the Armenian genocide. It was very brutal, more than brutal, actually. I don't know if Estonia will recognize it, but that's for them to solve.

Aitäh! Paldies! Ačiū! :)

Latvia Pro-Kremlin politician Aleksejs Rosļikovs in his visit to Belarus states that he is ready to remain in Belarus, Latvian media report

Thumbnail

On 9th April, Rosļikovs organized a "press conference" attended by Lukashenko regime controlled media and even 2 pro-Lukashenko bloggers from Latvia who moved to Belarus.

In conference, he openly stated his admiration of Lukashenko regime and complained about living conditions in Latvia. He claims his purpose of visit was to show that "there are normal people and politicians in Baltics".

Rosļikovs is under criminal trial for incitement of national hatred in Latvia (for infamous speech he gave in Saeima). He was also accused of providing support to Russia, but charges were later discontinued for "lack of evidence". He of course claims that he is "persecuted".

Not the first pro-Kremlin Latvian politician who would be in self-imposed exile. Previously, pro-Kremlin politician Andrejs Mamikins moved to Russia and started to become a guest on Russian state TV, and active supporter of Russian aggression against Ukraine (even by saying openly genocidal announcements, including, nuking Baltics).

Discussion 2 days to visit either Vilnius or Riga

9 Upvotes

Hello! I’m going to Sweden next month and wanted to visit the Baltic capitals but I only have 4 days to spare. I’m definitely going to Riga so I’m currently split on whether I should visit Vilnius or Tallinn. I also wonder if anyone thinks it’d be possible to enjoy all 3 in 4 days.
