Whitmark Resigns
On August 1, former Deputy First Minister Whitmark announced his resignation, leaving the positions of Minister of Recruitment and Deputy First Minister per request of First Minister Pichtonia. Pichtonia explained the forced resignation in reply to the initial confusion in his speech thread addressing the resignation, “I wanted him to recruit himself occasionally, because I believe in Ministers being role models [...] he rarely engaged anywhere other than his Ministry. Not in Radio - which I understand, because that simply isn't for everyone - or Comms or Integration or Culture. Not even Weekend Games.” In addition to the mentioned underperformance, Pichtonia said that they didn't share the same ambition they originally thought with innovation and even deciding the weekly recruitment goal.
Whitmark has since explained the reasons for his behind the scenes performance, linking it to the state of his mental health. First Minister Pichtonia has also quickly followed the event with the nominations of Astrellan as Deputy First Minister and Brí Shakespeare as Minister of Recruitment, both of which have been confirmed in the Senate.
