Latvia and Lithuania Have the Worst Pensioner Health in the EU (per Eurostat)

The Baltics are among the worst EU performers in terms of pensioner health.

In 2024, 68.5% of European Union residents rated their health as "good" or "very good". Of these, 8.5% considered it be "poor" or "very poor", and another 23.0% considered it "satisfactory".

The Baltics, however, rank at the bottom of the list.

Only 12.5% ​​of older Lithuanians rate their health as good or very good, making it the worst result in the EU. Latvia is second last with 13.1%. Estonia ranks higher at 24.5%, on par with Slovakia and Hungary.

This is unsurprising due to ridiculously low pensions in the Baltics, which is compounded by largely inaccessible healthcare (due to poor funding and acute personnel shortages).

March 23, 1949. A Conversation between Stalin and Albania’s Enver Hoxha on Religion

from Hoxha’s memoirs - WITH STALIN Memoirs from my Meetings with Stalin (2nd meeting)

Stalin: "What religion do the Albanians have?"

Hoxha: "Mainly Muslims, and some Catholics in the north."

Stalin: "Do you have Orthodox and other religions besides Islam?"

Hoxha: "There are about 30-35 per cent Orthodox and 10-15 per cent Catholics and all speak Albanian."

The conversation then shifts to a broader discussion.

The following is the full dialogue as recorded by Hoxha.

Stalin: "And so, Comrade Enver, do you eat pork?"

Hoxha: "Yes, I do."

Stalin: "Islam forbids its believers to eat pork."

Hoxha: "That is true."

Stalin: "I am sure that this is an antiquated custom. Nevertheless, the question of religious beliefs must be kept well in mind, must be handled with great care, because the religious feelings of the people must not be offended. These feelings have been cultivated in the people for many centuries, and great patience is called for on this question, because the stand towards it is important for the compactness and unity of the people."
