The Electoral Action of Lithuanian Poles' is requesting extreme urgency for the adoption of the Law on National Minorities

According to the organization, the law would legally restore the rights of national minorities, which was agreed on in 1991when Lithuania’s independence faced a threat and which remained in force until 2010. The current situation, in the opinion of the organization, undermines human dignity and ignores the right of the citizen to use a native language in public life alongside the state language. Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius regrets that the issue of ethnic minorities in the law is so far unresolved and is waiting for the Constitutional Court's explanation on the matter. However, he also believes that there is too much politicking on this issue, which does not contribute to improving relations between the two countries.
