Nida Vasiliauskaitė heavily criticized the position taken by the Lithuanian government over the COVID-19 pandemic and fully supported the right to self-determination when choosing to take the vaccine.
We don’t need your protection from ourselves and assistance when dying or being sick.” The philosopher even stated that Lithuania's government is not acting as a democratic institution although they were elected.

We voted on becoming a member of the European Union not because it [the membership] is a universal value per se, but because of its promises, such as the free movement of goods and services, common cultural space, market as well as security were attractive.
All of that sounds good and well, but today none of these promises look realistic as there is no movement, no freedom, no envisioned fantasy of Western life, and no democracy.
