Protesters in Lithuania rallied against the ruling coalition's decision to transfer the culture ministry to the controversial Dawn of Nemunas party, led by MP Remigijus Žemaitaitis, who faces accusations of anti-Semitism.

Žemaitaitis dismissed the protesters as 'loudmouths' and the protest was deemed a warning for future actions. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
