Anyone have some background on this?

A Canadian who literally lives on the other side of the world and I’d rather not jump to conclusions without some facts, thanks.

This is the third protest this month. The fourth is planned for tomorrow. More context here: https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2771222/social-democrats-draft-another-bill-to-change-lrt-leadership-rules

This is why public broadcasters matter. The moment politicians decide they should own the microphone, democracy becomes theater. What’s happening in Vilnius shows a population that understands power fears truth more than protest. The streets are saying clearly: information belongs to the people, not the coalition in power.

Kinda unrelated but doesn’t this affect Eurovision? I believe a big factor of why they say they removed Russia was because their broadcaster wasn’t independent

Can’t wait to see the cat firing director after director

Let’s replace impotent president with the cat!
Sure he will be more useful!
