“For more than 30 years of so-called ‘independence’, Lithuania has turned from a showcase of a once-great country into a doormat for NATO,” added the post made public by the propaganda channel.
In the obviously edited and poorly translated video, G. Jeglinskas talks about Lithuanian defense, foreign policy, and the quality of life in Lithuania. However, the candidate himself assures that he is calm about the content of the interview, although it is unpleasant to be on such a channel.
“I warn all candidates, politicians and public figures. After being officially approached to give an interview to the opposition Russian news portal “Meduza”, unexpectedly my interview was placed on the channel of Belarusian propagandists with all the embellishments of a child’s narrative.
What I can say is that this is an assessment, because the propagandists seem to be worried about a strong and secure state, for which we must be more than ever ready to fight. I am calm about the content of the interview, but it is honestly unpleasant to enter such a channel.
My advice to all colleagues is to very responsibly assess whether it is worth commenting even on “opposition” channels,” G. Jeglinskas announced on the Facebook social network.
Along with the post, the candidate also shared a screen shot with an invitation to participate in the Meduza media show and talk about the elections in Lithuania.
However, the e-mail address from which the letter was received – [email protected] – raises suspicions, so some began to wonder why the politician did not check more carefully with whom he would have a conversation.
“And you, as a person who worked at NATO, did not ask who Olga is, is she really like that working at Medusa, without asking for examples of previous interviews?”, political scientist Paulius Gritėnas commented on G. Jeglinska’s post.
