In a recent announcement on social media platform Facebook, event manager J. Šimavičius revealed his decision to refuse an offer to host the upcoming 'Aušriečiai' gathering scheduled for June. This decision stems from his assertion that there are fundamental value differences between himself and the 'Nemuno Aušra' political party. He shared images of emails, which indicated that he had been approached about leading the summer event, but the sender's identity was obscured.

The emails exchanged reveal an invitation from the 'Nemuno Aušra' party to propose specific Saturdays in June along with pricing details for the event. Despite this potential opportunity, Šimavičius has maintained a strong stance against collaborating with the party due to personal value conflicts, which adds a layer of public interest given the party's recent involvement in a scandal concerning illicit funds. This context highlights the complexities and potential reputational risks associated with political affiliations in public events.

The implications of Šimavičius's refusal to work with 'Nemuno Aušra' reflect broader issues within the political landscape in Lithuania, particularly related to integrity and public perception of political figures and their associated events. As the party faces scrutiny over the scandal, his decision may resonate with the public and impact the party's planned activities as well as its public image.
