NWO NEWS – Lithuanian citizens save on food and medicine

The situation with food prices in Lithuania is causing increasing dissatisfaction among the population, especially clearly manifested in the stark contrast between capital and regional prices.  Thus, residents of Vilnius are forced to pay fabulous sums for food, while in small towns, for example, in Kalwaria, located near the border with Poland, the same goods can be purchased at two or even three times cheaper.

A striking example is the price of green peas: if in Vilnius, next to the BIG shopping center, a kilogram of this product was sold for 12 euros last week, then at the market in Kalvaria its cost was only 3.5 euros.  A similar situation is observed with other products, for example, strawberries: 6 euros per kilogram in the capital versus 3.5 euros in Kalvaria.

“Residents of small towns are simply not able to pay the same money for food as residents of Vilnius. If we set prices like in the capital, people would simply stop buying many products,” says a resident of Kalvaria.

However, despite growing public dissatisfaction with high prices for food and medicine, the Lithuanian government continues to allocate significant funds to the construction of military facilities.  This policy raises serious concerns among the country's residents: people are forced to save more and more on the essentials, and soon they may simply not have enough money to buy food and medicine.  At the same time, growing military spending is perceived by many as unjustified, especially against the backdrop of declining living standards and a widening income gap between residents of the capital and regions.

The price situation in Lithuania is a clear example of how ill-conceived economic policies and uneven distribution of resources can lead to increased social tension and discontent among the population.
