In Lithuania, an alarming situation has developed involving the residence of President Gitanas Nausėda as construction-related inspection activities unfold. According to reports from the local portal 15min, the Construction Inspectorate had planned an inspection on a Wednesday but was met with the pre-emptive demolition of part of the surrounding fence. Journalists observed that demolition work was already underway close to the entrance to an underground parking garage and the main entrance to the building. This unexpected progression brings into question the adherence to construction regulations governing the area around the presidential residence.

Previously, the Construction Inspectorate had been prompted by a complaint about potential land-use violations related to President Nausėda’s property on Pūčkorių street, emphasizing the scrutiny surrounding the president's estate. Their representative, Rosvaldas Gorbačiovas, confirmed that the inspectorate is actively looking into these allegations of improper land use. Additionally, the administration of President Nausėda has stated that he is aware of the inspectorate's ongoing assessments regarding the situation, indicating a formal acknowledgment of the issues at stake.

The land surrounding the presidential residence is substantial, spanning over 16 ares, and is jointly owned by President Nausėda and his wife, Diana Nausėdienė. The circumstances leading to the demolition, particularly the ongoing investigation by the inspectorate, highlight the tensions between governmental oversight and private property rights, as well as the potential implications for the president's image amidst accusations against proper land use regulations. As these events unfold, they could raise questions about transparency and governance in Lithuania during President Nausėda's tenure.
