VIDEO | Earthquake hits New Zealand, PM's reaction in the middle of a press conference became a hit
The Prime Minister of New Zealand delighted with her calm reaction to the earthquake with a magnitude of 5,9 on the Richter scale that hit the country this morning.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was at a news conference in Wellington when a strong earthquake shook the region.
As can be seen in the video, when the ground began to shake, Prime Minister Ardern grabbed the rostrum.
When she realized what it was about, she turned to the journalist who was asking her a question at the time of the earthquake.
- Sorry, a little inconvenience. Can you repeat that question? Said Jasinda with a smile on her face.
The calm and "cool" reaction of the Prime Minister met with applause on social networks, and users shared the video en masse.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern experienced an earthquake in 2020 during her televised appearance.
New Zealand is often hit by moderate earthquakes because it is located in the seismically active "Fire Belt" where there are volcanoes and cracks in the Pacific.
