What Will Happen to V4 After Hungary’s Vote of Destiny?
31 March 2026
Lithuanian voters have just elected a parliament where a majority is formed by parties belonging to the centre-right of politics. In granting a mandate to parties espousing Western values, Lithuania stands out in the region.
It is in Lithuania’s DNA to aim beyond its means. This has been something Lithuania has done ever since its formation. We managed to create one of the largest medieval states in Europe, we were the first to begin the collapse of the empire of evil. Our foreign policy also is not lacking in ambition.
However, Lithuania is potentially also one of the countries in ‘New Europe’ to dictate political trends not only for its region but also beyond.
The latest parliamentary elections showed that in the environment of new European countries, where liberal democracy is gradually yielding its positions, Lithuania stands out, granting a mandate to parties espousing Western values.
