Food Safety Alert, Dealership Closures, and Political Revelations Dominate

A major food safety concern has emerged as salmonella-infected chicken was found in stores, leading to an urgent recall. This comes amidst economic disruptions, including the abrupt closure of nine car dealerships across the country, leaving numerous customers without their vehicles or deposits.

On the political front, former Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis has ended his silence, openly discussing a past error and voicing suspicions regarding President Gitanas Nausėda. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund has revised down Lithuania's economic growth forecast, adding to the country's financial discussions.

Other notable developments include a minister's statement affirming border guards' right to use greater force, an ongoing analysis of upcoming mayoral elections, and positive news from the sports world as the junior handball team secured a silver medal at the European Championship.
