Lithuania Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas has stepped down following investigations into his business dealings that prompted protests in the Baltic country’s capital calling for his resignation.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda announced Paluckas’ resignation to the media on Thursday morning.
Paluckas confirmed the news in a statement sent by his Social Democrat Party.
Paluckas ascended to the role late last year after a three-party coalition formed following parliamentary elections in October.
