Lithuania's ruling party to stay in power despite expenses scandal

VILNIUS (Reuters) -Lithuania's government will stay in office despite a scandal over expenses that caused the resignation of a minister, the leadership of the centre-right Homeland Union party decided on Friday, according to a party statement.

Parliament this week rejected a proposal by the Homeland Union to "reset" the political system by dissolving, following reports that many politicians, including three ministers, had misfiled expenses while working as municipal councillors.
