In her words, the Liberal Movement seems out of hand and does not know how to respond to the latest wave of difficulties, while the failures in connection to governing Lithuania’s capital Vilnius made Šimašius no longer capable of unifying the party’s members.

Šimašius announced resignation on Friday after the Central Electoral Commission on Thursday stated that the Liberal Movement had grossly violated the law in the funding of the campaign before the 2016 parliamentary elections.
