“I would add that from politicians probably Agriculture Minister Bronius Markauskas saw the biggest rise of negative evaluation – by 9 percentage points from around 20 to around 29. So those stories had negative impact”, Vilmorus director Vladas Gaidys told BNS Lithuania.
Markauskas came under fire after the 15min.lt news website reported that Markauskas’ mother, Sofija Markauskienė, has been using several plots of land in the district of Klaipėda without the landowners’ permission for five to six years and that she has been receiving payments from the EU for that land.
The Vilmorus survey was carried out on April 6-15.
