Former minister Eligijus Masiulis alleges in his memoirs that former President Dalia Grybauskaitė solicited media support during her re-election campaign due to political pressures from opponents.
In his newly released memoir "Baltas apykakles prasegus," former Lithuanian minister and convicted politician Eligijus Masiulis reveals a controversial interaction with former President Dalia Grybauskaitė. According to Masiulis, during a conversation at the Presidential Office, Grybauskaitė expressed her concerns about political adversaries, particularly the Social Democrats, who were reportedly plotting against her amidst her campaign for a second term. She conveyed that they were considering establishing a parliamentary inquiry into her governance that could lead to her impeachment. This admission highlights the intense political environment in Lithuania at the time, with Grybauskaitė facing substantial opposition as she attempted to maintain power.
