Members of the Governing Council gathered in Vilnius to discuss the Parliamentary Forum for Democracy activities

On the eve of the 10 th anniversary of the establishment of the Parliamentary Forum for Democracy (PFD), the Hon. Michał Tomasz Kamiński, Member of the PFD Governing Council and Deputy Chairman of the Senate of the Republic of Poland met with the PFD and Lithuanian political leaders to discuss negative democratic developments and new ways to take leadership to address challenges to democracies. 

Today Lithuania marks the Freedom Defenders' Day on Monday. Hon. Kamiński used this opportunity to pay a tribute to the 14 victims that lost their lives during Soviet aggression on January 13, 1991. Fourteen civilians were killed and hundreds more were wounded when the Soviet troops stormed the TV Tower and the Radio and Television Committee building in Vilnius, the offices of present-day LRT, in the early hours of January 13, 1991.
