President’s spokesman Ridas Jasiulionis has confirmed the information to the news agency ELTA.
„The president’s annual speech at the Seimas is planned for 25 June,“ ELTA has learned from the spokesman.
This will be Nausėda’s fifth State of the Nation Address dedicated to parliament and the public. This time he will deliver the speech having secured the second term of office in May.
Last year, the head of state urged the government to substantially boost defence spending, highlighted the importance of the deployment of a German brigade to Lithuania and criticised municipal councillors for misusing expenses allowances.
Following the Constitution, the president delivers the State of the Nation Address reviewing the situation in the country as well as key domestic and foreign policy matters. The speech is normally delivered in parliament’s spring session.
