Lithuania’s parliamentary Committee on Culture on Wednesday approved proposed amendments to the LRT law. This comes amid objections from the opposition and international organisations, as well as widespread protests.
Social Democrat Vytautas Grubliauskas argued that a compromise had been reached.
“I highly appreciate the fact that even the opposition acknowledges that many concerns were taken into account, that a great deal of work has been done and that, in many cases, a compromise was indeed found. Of course, not 100%, not in every instance,” he said.
Following the committee’s approval of its conclusions, the draft amendments will now return to the parliamentary chamber for further consideration. This is expected to happen next week.
