Ex-head of Lithuania: Lithuanian authorities in terms of populism have become "collective Zhirinovsky"

Former Lithuanian President Rolandas Paksas (today represents Lithuania in the European Parliament) spoke about the Baltic hysteria around the Russian exercises "West-2017". Paksas noted that official Vilnius’s statements that the Russian army allegedly conducts exercises exclusively for invading Lithuania “do not cause anything but regret”.

According to Paksas, the military exercises of Russia in the western regions and in the territory of the Republic of Belarus have already ended, and official Vilnius continues to talk about the “likelihood of a conflict with NATO in the Baltic countries”.

Paksas, referring to the current leadership of the Republic of Lithuania:

No conflict happened. Stop doing populism. Such a one-sided policy of Lithuania today frankly affects trade and economic relations. And it is expensive for any ordinary citizen. The EU has already lost about 150 billion euros from anti-Russian sanctions. And how many of these funds have the Lithuanians lost?

Rolandas Paksas noted that aggressive rhetoric towards his opponent in Lithuania, and almost all over the world, is becoming normal.

Lithuanian ex-president quotes portal BaltNews:

However sad it may be, aggressive rhetoric and Pharisee behavior towards opponents and the whole society becomes almost the only distinguishing feature of our fading political culture. We have almost reached the line beyond which any diplomatic and political dialogue becomes almost impossible.

According to Paksas, the current Lithuanian authorities in terms of populism have become a variant of “collective Zhirinovsky.”

For reference: R.Paksas was the President of the Republic of Lithuania from February 2003 to April 2004. He was prematurely removed from office by the Sejm for violating the country's constitution.

However sad it may be, aggressive rhetoric and Pharisee behavior towards opponents and the whole society becomes almost the only distinguishing feature of our fading political culture. We have almost reached the line beyond which any diplomatic and political dialogue becomes almost impossible.

But how seriously can you talk with a clown?

[alexmach]

I don’t know who you think is a clown, but the idea in the quoted text is a reasonable surprise, especially as for the current politician.

clones are those we are talking about in the quote, read the article carefully

It was for his sanity that he was removed from office in Lithuania

[alexmach]

I don’t know why he was suspended there, because after all, as far as I understand, he was “out of work” a deputy of the European Parliament. But what he said greatly surprised me with its accuracy. And mind you, he criticized not only Lithuania but the whole of modern political culture.

If Zhirinovsky was at the head of state, then he would not bazaar with them for a long time ...
What muck is your aspic fish, sprats!

[Herculesic]

It’s in vain — if Wolfovich put him in power, then he will restore order — at least he is a PR man, but with his head, and your extinctions should think of him with reverent reverence! !!

[Abigor]

You said correctly! Just need to add that he is on the salary of politicians of another state and consists. Unlike the pseudo-independent Baltic Jesters.

the Russian army allegedly conducts exercises exclusively for the invasion of Lithuania, “they cause nothing but regret”.

They waited so, but it did not happen ... Paksas is right, they are miserable, miserable ...

[Slon_on]

So he was “pushed” because he wanted to normalize relations with Russia, he was not in a “trend” ..

I don’t remember whose lines, But here they are in time:

Under your zodiac star
I’ll sit in the kitchen without worries ...
A can opener with maniac's dashing
The flesh reveals a flat jar of sprat ...

It seems not a young man, but reasoning ... Do you think our Wolframovich will be offended by the expro.ta? He is not from that test!

[Alexdark]

You look at all this, sometimes you want Zhirik to the head. When emotions go wild and fists itch from injustice and threat to us. But, nevertheless, you understand that then a global war is inevitable.

All of them are powerful in hindsight.
