Lithuanian Ruling Parties Expel Dawn of Nemunas from Coalition

Lithuania's governing coalition has expelled the Dawn of Nemunas party from its ranks, citing increasing radicalism that undermines the stability needed for effective governance. The decision represents a significant shift in the Baltic nation's political landscape, as coalition partners moved to distance themselves from what they characterized as the party's growing extremist tendencies. The expulsion reduces the government's parliamentary support and reflects broader concerns about maintaining political moderation in the face of rising populist movements across Europe.
