The Nationalist Union's statement notes that the euro is being introduced in Lithuania in a rush, without thinking about cornerstone interests of the country. The funds dedicated for the EFSF should be instead allocated to the national defence and security, as well as patriotic development of the youth and improvement of demographic and social situation.
The nationalists' statement also stresses that "based on data of representative polls" most Lithuanian residents do not support "the rushed" euro introduction from 1 January 2015.
