Political positions
Juozaitis is opposed to European integration and proposes a "Europe of nations", but supports NATO. He opposes dual citizenship.[2] Answering questions on important political topics sent to presidential candidates by the program "Mano Balsas" (Lithuanian: My Voice), organized by the Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Juozaitis assumes interventionist positions on the economy, in favor of progressive taxation and publicly funded healthcare, but also described homosexuality as a "social experiment" and a "fad".[3]
Juozaitis supports strengthening Lithuania's ties with Latvia and teaching the Latvian language in Lithuanian schools,[4] and formation of a Lithuanian-Latvian confederation.[5] He also supported a Lithuanian partnership with the Law and Justice government in Poland against the European Union.[2]
