In a recent revelation on a special 15min program, politician K. Žukauskas warned of significant concerns regarding the funding of the political party 'Nemuno Aušra'. He suggested that the party might have been financed through what he describes as sham donations, amounting to an alarming 130,000 euros classified as 'black money'. This assertion came alongside insights from the chairman of the Central Electoral Commission, Lina Petronienė, and political analyst Matas Baltrukevičius, who discussed the implications of these findings in the context of ongoing investigations.

K. Žukauskas elaborated on his theory, emphasizing the possibility that 'Nemuno Aušra' received cash donations, questioning the legal origins of this money. He expressed skepticism about the notion that such funds could be generated from legitimate local sales, such as those from vendors at markets. Instead, he raised the alarming possibility that the cash might be linked to sources that could not be legalized, indicating potential illegal or unethical financial practices within the party's funding framework.

This development raises serious questions about the integrity of political financing in Lithuania, particularly as the country's political landscape grapples with the need for transparency and accountability. With authorities now prompted to investigate the matter further, the implications for 'Nemuno Aušra' could be significant, possibly affecting their public image and electoral prospects in the lead-up to the next elections.
