Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda has called on the parliament, Seimas, to hold an advisory referendum on the constitutional definition of family. The proposal comes amid growing political discourse on family values and social policy.
The president’s statement was made during a public address, where he emphasized the importance of defining family in the constitution to reflect societal changes. The referendum would be non-binding, allowing citizens to express their views on the matter.
This move follows recent legislative debates on family law reforms, including proposals to redefine family structures. The Seimas has not yet confirmed the timing or details of the referendum, but the president has expressed support for the initiative. The proposal has sparked discussions among political parties and civil society groups.
