In a historic turn of events, Lithuania’s center-left opposition parties have swept through the recent national elections, ousting the center-right ruling coalition. The Social Democrats, led by Vilija Blinkevičiūtė, emerged victorious, securing a decisive victory over Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė’s Homeland Union, as reported by news sources such as AP and Reuters.
