The Vilnius Regional Administrative Court decided to reopen the investigation of the case of subsidies for the Lithuanian Labor Party

The Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats asked the court to clarify the legality of the Central Electoral Commission’s decision to allocate a subsidy for the budget of the Labor Party for the second half of 2013, arguing that the Labor Party was registered in 2013 on May 14th and did not participate in parliamentary and local elections, according to the results of which grants were distributed. According to the petitioners, under no legislation can it be objectively determined that after reorganization the newly established political party takes over the party’s previous voter support.
