According to Mediascope data strategist Vilūnė Kairienė, the concept of security, as addressed in the latest annual reports, has broadened significantly. It is now understood not merely as a physical defense, but as the comprehensive capacity of a state, its institutions, and society itself to withstand both internal and external challenges. Kairienė conducted a comparative analysis of the current President G.
Nausėda’s recent speech against the content of the previous two years’ annual reports. Her examination highlighted a distinct thematic shift across these public addresses. Specifically, the analysis of the 2024 presidential speech revealed a pronounced focus on social welfare.
The most frequently used terminology during that period related to concepts such as poverty, inequality, welfare provisions, economic gaps, education, and pensions. Kairienė observed that the President’s address in 2024 centered on the internal condition of the society, addressing social disparities and the everyday concerns of the populace. She further characterized the overall tone of the 2024 speech as being oriented toward dialogue and empathy.
The underlying message, according to her findings, aimed to foster societal cohesion through the principles of social justice. This comparison underscores a notable evolution in the key national priorities emphasized in the leadership’s public communications over the past few years.
