As a Lithuanian who have lived 95% of my life in Lithuania, I always saw Lithuania boring, but as we getting more attention from world and more and more people travel to our country, I realized, how unique and beautiful Lithuania is, just when I was growing up my excitement was fading but thanks to you all my excitement is sparking up again, kind a feels like I am little kid again and everything is new and exciting.
As a Lithuanian living far away from home, I wish to return one day.
I love Lithuania from Poland , we were a superpower together.
There are few huge issues with our country that drives it downwards. The main one is that it is a small country with not that many people and most of them are okay with being controlled. This allow the minority to literally take control of the nation. Our government is super corrupt along with all justice and law institutions. There are almost no opposition or political variety.
For the past 30 years of freedom Lithuania was mostly controlled by post soviet union people or their relatives and friends who are selfish and even worse stuck with their soviet era ideologies. They don’t really care about the future of this country their main goal is to squeeze most profit out of this nation and then sell it.
They already are selling our forests to foreigner businessmen who then cut them for profit. Our inflation is highest in Europe at the moment. Prices of foods skyrocket and our politicians just don’t care about it.
And since older people usually just sit in their home while afraid to do anything because they might get in trouble for speaking against this government. Younger people simply flee the country as they feel like they have no hope to fight against these corrupt people.
If we could get rid of these old soviet era people everything would become better.
Population decrease for over 20 years . Also Lithuania got increase in population in 2022 due to Ukrainian invasion. Lithuania is simply one of the fastest shrinking countries. It is because of ruling politicians, mainstream media who simply make enemies with all neighbours and making hate each others. People get so much stress they want to leave the country. But unity should be the key against the bad.
