They’re dead but they won’t lie down
Important parliamentary elections are soon due in Lithuania. The party which leads in the polls had its origins in the Lithuanian Communist Party 20 years ago, and many believe that the nomenclature from those days still is very much alive in this party as well as in other parties of today. That modern, democratic governance is still not implemented and practiced. That corruption and personal gain is more important than the Lithuanian people's best. We hereby invite you to debate. Is the Lithuania nomenclature still alive?

Lingering nomenklatura
Major General Jonas Kronkaitis was Lithuania’s Vice Minister of National
Defense and Commander of the country’s armed forces for the period 1999 –
2004. Vytautas Dudenas was a member of the Lithuanian Parliament in the
1990s and later Minister of Finance for the period 1999 – 2000.
Both are now retired.
“Many of our Lithuanian politicians, civil servants, judges, the court system and the prosecutor’s office are still the children of the old Soviet ‘nomenklatura’, and there is a great need for fresh blood and new thinking in order for Lithuania to catch up with Western Europe.”
This said Jonas Kronkaitis and Vytautas Dudenas in 2006. Are they right, also in 2012?

“Lithuania needs a visionary strategy”

“It is better to light one small candle, than to curse the darkness”
- K’ung Fu-tzu (Confucius)
Fourteen years ago this November, I first arrived in Lithuania. I came with other Norwegians, having been invited by the parliamentary chairman, Dr. Vytautas Landsbergis.
