The March for Equality, planned on Saturday in Vilnius, is a good start for the Lithuanian EU presidency, visiting Swedish Minister for European Union Affairs Birgitta Ohlsson has said on Friday.
“You chose a good start for the Lithuanian presidency leading the European Union,” she told a press conference on Friday, adding that she will take part in Saturday’s parade as it is “a very historical moment for me.”
“No government has a right to tell its citizens whom to love, no religion has a right to tell which identity to choose and no politician,” Ohlsson said.
