New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Resigns
Jacinda stated to the media source, “I am resigning because with such a privileged position comes responsibility – the duty to recognize when you are the right person to lead and when you are not. I am familiar with the qualifications necessary for this position. And I am aware that I no longer have the capacity to do it justice. It’s that easy.”
She continued, “I am human, and so are politicians. We contribute everything we have for as long as we are able. Then it will be time. And it is time for me.”
“These have been the five and a half most rewarding years of my life. In addition to an agenda centered on housing, child poverty, and climate change, we faced a domestic terror attack, a significant natural disaster, a worldwide epidemic, and an economic crisis, she said.
Kindness is Possible, Jacinda Ardern
When asked how she would like New Zealanders to remember her time as prime minister, Ardern responded, “as someone who always tried to be compassionate.”
“I want I leave New Zealanders with the conviction that it is possible to be both kind and strong, empathetic and resolute, hopeful and focused. And that you can be your sort of leader – one who understands when to leave,” said Ardern.
Under her administration, two mosques in Christchurch were attacked by terrorists, and the White Island volcano erupted.
