V. Mitalas, a representative of the Freedom Party in Lithuania, expressed that the party has learned from its previous mistakes and is now aiming for a successful performance in the upcoming local government elections. He emphasized the importance of aligning political promises with public expectations, stating that promises should not be exaggerated but should clearly indicate the party's commitments. The party intends to adopt a transparent approach, outlining specific goals before each election, in order to rebuild trust with voters.

Currently, the Freedom Party has no representatives in the Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas), and their presence in local government is also limited, with only two vice mayors and nine council members in Vilnius. Mitalas acknowledged that while the party does not possess many strong regional branches, it still has representation across various parts of Lithuania. The challenge moving forward is to gather support from voters in these regions, which he views as crucial for the party's future prospects in local politics.

With the local council and mayoral elections approaching in 2027, Mitalas believes that the Freedom Party can channel the lessons learned into a more effective campaign strategy. By addressing past criticisms and actively engaging with the electorate, the party hopes to expand its influence and improve its standing in local governance. The focus will be on building strong connections with communities and ensuring that voter concerns are met with actionable commitments, ultimately striving to enhance its political presence in Lithuania's municipal landscape.
