Imagine that some leader of the Italian left says at a certain moment "I've run out of energy, it's time to go".

Even those who resign, in the maximum gesture that a career can allow, sooner or later return to Italy, or really do not resign, but remain there in the background, plotting, setting up, creating consortia.

Late last night, Jacinda Arderne, the prime minister of New Zealand who became a legend for the global center left because she was the first to confront and successfully defeat COVID in her home country of New Zealand, turning on a happy island with zero COVID, but also successfully addressing a number of difficult social emergencies.

Ardern, appearing in the Labor caucus, gave a very simple and human speech, which looks stellar, seen from the shackles of Italy.

"I am leaving because the responsibilities come with such a privileged role. The responsibility of knowing when you are the right person to lead and even when you are not. I know what this job entails. And I know I don't have enough energy to do it right anymore. It's that simple."

She will technically be leaving no later than February 7, and it is not clear who will replace her in Labor at the election (perhaps Grant Robertson, the current finance minister), but she is leaving as it was: showing that someone can be a successful politician.

Known by many, she is a woman of power, explaining a change in relation to the gloomy face of ambitions and small powers that cling to cliques to resist.

"I am human, politicians are human. We give everything we can for as long as we can. Then comes the moment. And the time has come for me." She explained to those who told her to stay that she had thought about it over the summer break and concluded that she was no longer able to "do the job".

"It was the most satisfying five years of my life. But there were also challenges: between an agenda focused on housing, child poverty and climate change, we had to deal with an event of domestic terrorism, a major natural disaster, a global pandemic and an economic crisis," she recalled.

Sorting out the pandemic crisis (surpassed), the white supremacist bombing in Christchurch (was managed with the most decisiveness possible: changed the country's gun laws.

When Warehouse decided to cut a thousand jobs, she fought back, saying she was "furious", accusing herself of having an anti-industrial mentality.

"I wanted to live abroad. I wanted to have that time and that experience abroad. I was doing great volunteer work that I loved, but I needed to make a living, so I took the job."

Her battle against white extremism has brought her increasingly serious threats from various supremacists and Nazis. The challenge won with COVID has given her, especially in the last year, very serious threats from bandits.

She was the youngest prime minister, at the age of 37. Raised in a very simple family, her father a Mormon, Ardern fought her first public battle to explain that "I don't want a place where women have to answer questions about their motherhood in the workplace" (which happened to her).

It remained objectively quite distinctive and unconventional, certainly not Blairite, but not the old, run-of-the-mill left. She told her daughter, “Snow, Mommy can't wait to be there when you start school this year. And for Clarke: we're finally getting married." They asked him, in fact, at the end, how he would like New Zealanders to remember his leadership. She replied “as a person who has always tried to be good. I hope to leave New Zealanders with the belief that one can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused. And that you can be your own leader, who knows when it's time to leave"./ La Stampa
