Liberals' Movement (Lithuania)

The Liberals' Movement (Lithuanian: Liberalų sąjūdis; LS) is a conservative-liberal political party in Lithuania.

[6][7][9][10] The party was founded in 2006 by dissident members of the Liberal and Centre Union that were unhappy with Artūras Zuokas's leadership.

This coalition gained a combined governmental majority of 80 out of 141 seats in the Seimas, led by Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius of the Homeland Union.

[13] After the party's leader Eligijus Masiulis allegedly took a bribe of 106,000 euros, Antanas Guoga temporarily took his position on 13 May 2016.

On the other hand, the public election committee "For changes in Pagėgiai area" prior to the 2020 parliamentary election joined the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union, while most of the members of the Order and Justice Party (which dissolved itself in 2020) in the same area became members of the Liberal Movement.

It is socially and economically liberal, and ran on a platform of cutting taxation and legalizing gender-neutral partnerships during the 2020 Lithuanian parliamentary election.

During the term, this faction opposed same-sex partnerships, decriminalization of small quantities of narcotics, and mandatory vaccinations for doctors and social workers.
