The new Dutch government may consist of the same parties as the previous one, but it does fulfill its promise to be innovative in the choice of ministers. Now the candidate ministers will each have to have coffee with Prime Minister Rutte in the coming days, in which he subjects them to a kind of job interview. Next weekend, the team would then be completely final and can start – nine months after the elections.
