Former Speaker of the Lithuanian Seimas, A. Paulauskas, shared his recollections of K. Prunskienė, highlighting her exceptional energy and ambition.

Paulauskas recounted how, during his tenure as Speaker, he would attend various events, sometimes multiple per day. He consistently encountered Prunskienė at these gatherings, often noting her ability to be present everywhere.

The most important thing was that she managed to be everywhere. We would travel with lights and an escort, but she would arrive without anything. And sometimes you'd arrive, and she was already there. I ask, how do you manage? She says – I leave the event a little earlier.
