Recent developments surrounding the residence of Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda in Pavilniai Regional Park have raised questions about the legality of a fence erected around his property. The State Territorial Planning and Construction Inspectorate (VTPSI) had been investigating whether this fence encroached on state land, prompted by a complaint from a local citizen, Ado Pauliaus Paražinskas. His advocacy for the removal of what he deemed an illegal structure has been characterized as a victory for civic duty, encouraging broader accountability for government officials and adherence to the law.

Photographic evidence collected by 15min at the site revealed substantial demolition of the original concrete fence, which has now been replaced by a new metal fence. Officials from the construction inspectorate confirmed the demolition of a significant portion of the fence, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements. This incident highlights the ongoing struggle between civic responsibility and institutional compliance, as citizens engage in active oversight of governmental actions, pushing for transparency and legality in state projects.

This situation represents a broader dialogue in Lithuania about the balance of power between state officials and the public, where individuals are empowered to challenge legality and engage in governance. The public’s proactive stance reinforces the importance of accountability and the rule of law, urging other citizens to take similar initiatives when witnessing perceived injustices or unlawful actions by authorities.
