Lithuania’s Defence Minister, Arvydas Anušauskas, sparked controversy after adopting a terse, questioning style reminiscent of the film *The Godfather* during a press conference. The minister reportedly asked, “Did you give the order?”, mirroring a famous line from the movie, while addressing questions regarding military procurement and potential wrongdoing. This unusual approach drew immediate attention and commentary, with many observing the stylistic choice as a deliberate attempt to project strength and resolve. Critics, however, have suggested the tactic was inappropriate for a government official and questioned its professionalism. Anušauskas has not yet publicly explained his reasoning for the reference. The incident occurred during a discussion concerning the modernization of Lithuania’s defense capabilities and specific contracts. The event has become a talking point within Lithuanian political circles and online.
