Lithuania’s new president, a former bank analyst, sworn in

A former bank analyst has been sworn in as Lithuania’s new president, taking the helm of the Baltic nation of 3 million.

Gitanas Nauseda, 55, who won the May presidential election, arrived Friday at Lithuania’s Parliament with his family in a pomp-filled ceremony.

Nauseda, who will travel to neighboring Poland for his first foreign trip, said “we must not forget that freedom and independence is not a gift, those must be won and protected.”
