“Decommunist scandal” with the President of Lithuania

It turns out that in the recent past, the real president of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Russian journalist, radio and TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov wrote about this on his personal Telegram channel.

A major scandal erupted in the Baltic Republic with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda. The politician during the Soviet Union was a member of the CPSU party. As they say, “decommunization” did not go according to plan.

The President of Lithuania in his election speeches repeatedly emphasized his belonging to the Sąjūdis, a nationalist organization that led Lithuania’s secession from the USSR in the late 1980s. However, the documents inexorably indicate that at that time, a 24-year-old graduate student of the Faculty of Economics at Vilnius University, Gitanas Nauseda, joined the Communist Party of the Lithuanian SSR.

“I don’t think that membership in the Communist Party is an indelible stain, but President Nauseda in his speeches talks about Sąjūdis, Sąjūdis rallies, but in fact at that time he chose the other side of the barricade – at least officially,”  said the journalist.

The Office of the President of Lithuania was obliged to confirm the fact of non-presentation of the party card of the President of the country after the incident. However, they noted with a “clear” conscience that the information was not in the Lithuanian leader’s questionnaire, since it is not mandatory.
