Chair of the parliament and head of the Labor Party Loreta Grauziniene has stressed that nothing bad will happen to Lithuania's commitments to the EU if the people of Lithuania exercise their constitutional rights and express their views in a referendum to ban the sale of land to foreigners.
She asserts that the EU has never sanctioned any country for the people expressing their opinion on one or another issue. She went on to say that if laws were amended by referendum, then the EU could make a claim. And so, she concluded, there is no need to mix rights with policies.
