You should always put health first, says Raemakers. “I’m going to focus on a sustainable and full recovery.”
Burn-out
Raemakers returned last year after a months-long absence. “A burnout is about not being able to turn yourself off anymore. I was always ready to text about a motion, or to wait to see if a vote still had to be taken, or to see if there were any questions from an employee of a minister. he said about that period. The party of D66 wishes Rens Raemakers a lot of strength and get well soon.

Politicians in The Hague more often have to deal with burnout. Think of former CDA member Pieter Omtzigt, who was recently absent for weeks. RTL Nieuws spoke about it to Ab Klink, Minister of Health from 2007 to 2010. “In the weekend I had to read all the documents for the debates of the coming week. They were working days from 4 to 6 pm. That was normal.”
‘It may take something’
Kamerwerk is busy, says Klink. “But you also learn a lot from all those debates in the House. You get a lot of knowledge. And such debates keep a minister sharp. In addition: it is a very nice and important job, that may also require something.”
