Vytautas Landsbergis: Lithuanian Conservatives need more rotation in leadership and opportunities for youth

Lithuania's former de facto head of state Vytautas Landsbergis, who is running for leadership of the Homeland Union–Lithuanian Christian Democrats (Conservatives), has pointed out a lack of opportunities for young people and rotation in the party's leadership.

MEP Landsbergis spoke to hundreds of participants in a meeting as part of his election campaign to the party's leadership at Kaunas Sports Center on Saturday evening.

"The rotation I have proposed stipulating in the party's bylaws would indeed benefit the party's leadership and branches, which should offer more opportunities for young people," he said.

Landsbergis, Lithuania's first state leader after the country regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1990, urged his supporters to "continue the line of Sąjudis (liberation movement)."

In the elections of Conservatives' leader later in April, Landsbergis, 80, will compete with current leader Andrius Kubilius, MP Valentinas Stundys, and MEP Laima Andrikienė.

"With your support, I will return from the European political arena to Lithuania and we will together get these stagnant swamps moving," he said.
