For example, we should unite for the sake of recovery of the destroyed economy, to protect Lithuania against Africanization \u2013 practically we do not produce anything \u2013 only consume. We were going to Europe, but found ourselves in Africa. Furthermore, it is important to protect Lithuania from external influences and to maintain the natural political process, otherwise Lithuania will weaken and will not use the opportunities opened up by our status as a free country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am positive about the Project of Tadas Gutauskas, because it has the potential to stimulate citizenship and solidarity and help to refresh weakened relationships with our northern neighbours \u2013 our real and indispensable allies. Before \u201cThe Baltic Way\u201d the world used to treat S\u0105j\u016bdis Movement and the Baltic fronts only as cultural organisations, as societies for the protection of animals. It was in \u201cThe Baltic Way\u201d that Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia became countries striving for statehood. \u201cThe Baltic Way\u201d represents the establishment of our country \u2013 this important and impressive campaign was responsible for the serious attitude towards all three Baltic States and their goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Zenonas Butkus, Professor, Dean of Vilnius University History FacultyLithuania is quite united, but you can never have too much of solidarity.
