Thank you for 10 Years Together! Concert Honoring Outgoing President Dalia Grybauskaite
Lithuania said thank you and goodbye to outgoing two-term president Dalia Grybauskaite, two weeks before president-elect, Gitanas Nausėda, takes office on July 12. Stars who came to show their support and perform included groups such as "Biplan" and "Lemon Joy" as well as artists Ieva Narkute, Jurga, Donatas Montvydas, Vaidas Baumila, and Domantas Razauskas with "VOS VOS." People poured into the square for the show and the chance to see their president for one of her last public appearances in office. She was described as "a woman in a man's world" and this sentiment was met with cheers from the crowd. "The Iron Lady" of Lithuania has become a role model for many young girls in the country, as was evidenced by the lengthy goodbye at the doors of the Presidential Palace. As Lithuania's first female president, and the first to be reelected into office consecutively, Dalia Grybauskaite has left her mark on the nation's history as well as on the citizens of Lithuania.
