Talk:Kazys Pakštas

Presidential candidate
The article states: In 1938, he became a presidential candidate for President of Lithuania. This appears to be in obvious contradiction to the information provided in lt:1938 m. Lietuvos Respublikos Prezidento rinkimai. However, this statement is sourced. How can this contradiction be explained? Since you appear to have inserted this information, I would appreciate your input in particular. Kind regards, Vogone (talk) 21:18, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Fair point. It might be incorrect to state that he became a presidential candidate. The sources claim that he was rather strongly promoted by Lithuanian intelligentsia and certain organisations to become a presidential candidate, but it's not really clear whether he officially announced it. Pakštas might have considered it as it's mentioned that he gave a political speech on establishing a new government. However, he probably did not go very far as Lithuania was an authoritarian regime since 1926. SeriousThinker (talk) 14:39, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
