Lithuanian Official Explains Why Salomėja Nėris Monument Should Not Be Demolished

A Lithuanian official, Miša Jakobas, has explained his reasoning against demolishing the monument dedicated to poet Salomėja Nėris, arguing that focusing on the future rather than the past and understanding that deceased individuals pose no threat makes such demolitions unnecessary. He suggests that while figures may be viewed ambiguously, there is no point in destroying their memorials.
