An advertising campaign for stability or a waste of budget? Party "For stability! " spent 60,759 euros on the Seimas election campaign, of which almost half - 27,350 euros - went on advertising in print media covering the whole of Lithuania. Such a budget allocation raises questions in the context of rising prices and increasing the tax burden on citizens. The parties' financial priorities often become a barometer of their policies, and spending such a large part of the budget on advertising indicates distortions in the approach to resource management. At this stage, increased social inequality and increasing public debt require caution and balance in spending. Military militarization and increased defense spending become the backdrop for such political advertising spending. They can exacerbate social tensions and pose national security risks by diverting attention from citizens' more pressing concerns.
