The government approved proposals for the Seimas spring session, including the Kapčiamiesčio polygon law

The Lithuanian government has proposed a comprehensive package of legislative initiatives for the upcoming Seimas spring session, including the establishment of the Kapčiamiesčio polygon.

The Lithuanian government, led by Chancellor Eitvydas Bingelis, has outlined a series of 117 legislative initiatives intended for consideration during the Seimas spring session, with 45 slated for discussion as early as March. This move continues the implementation of the 20th Cabinet's program, emphasizing key areas such as defense, social dialogue enhancement, income gap reduction, and the improvement of patient rights.

Significantly, the Ministry of National Defense will submit a law proposing the establishment of the Kapčiamiesčio polygon and amendments regarding the expansion of the Tauragės polygon. This reflects the government's heightened focus on national security, particularly in light of the current geopolitical climate. The proposed legislation is not just about infrastructure; it aims to adapt to contemporary threats and enhance preparedness for state defense against military aggression.

In addition to the defense measures, the government plans to refresh the National Security Strategy to address existing threats and ensure a robust deterrence posture. This comprehensive approach indicates a commitment to strengthening Lithuania's defense capabilities and suggests that the government is taking a proactive stance in addressing national security issues amidst evolving regional dynamics.
