In a recent decision, the Seimas board of Lithuania has authorized two members, referred to as 'aušrės', to attend a significant gathering of conservative politicians held in Hungary. This decision came after a vote where prominent politicians such as Seimas Speaker Juozas Olekas and social democratic faction leader Orinta Leiputė supported the move, while conservative member Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė and liberal leader Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen opposed it, highlighting a divide in the political landscape regarding international conservative affiliations.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), known for drawing together right-wing leaders and activists, usually takes place in the U.S. but has also expanded its footprint globally, with events in various countries including Poland, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, and Israel. This underscores the international movement and collaboration among conservative entities, which Lithuania's participation highlights.

The attendance of these two 'aušrės' at the conference not only signifies Lithuania’s engagement with broader conservative movements but also raises questions about domestic political alignments and the extent to which current political leaders are willing to connect with global right-wing platforms, especially amid ongoing local debates about political ideology and partnership with Western allies.
