Summary
Lithuania’s Social Democrats decided Saturday to dissolve their ruling coalition with junior partner Dawn of Nemunas, breaking up the government alliance.
Defense policy disputes triggered the split, with party chairman Mindaugas Sinkevicius calling a change in the current political composition the right course for both the party and the state.
Sinkevicius said the Social Democrats will open talks with For Lithuania to try to build a new coalition, setting up a rapid effort to reassemble a governing majority.
