After Jetten, Rutte received the candidate State Secretary for Mining, Hans Vijlbrief (D66), who was responsible for taxes in the current cabinet. His main task is to deal with the earthquake damage in Groningen. “I am a huge supporter of Feyenoord and ‘deeds are not words,'” he said after his conversation. “So I will mainly try to help the Groningers. I will certainly go to Groningen to talk and especially to listen, but I think people mainly need solutions.”
Furthermore, you will pass Henk Staghouwer (ChristenUnie, Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality), Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink (VVD, Minister for Nature and Nitrogen), Kajsa Ollongren (D66, Minister of Defence), Ernst Kuipers (D66, Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport), Conny Helder (VVD, Minister for Long-term Care and Sport) and Maarten van Ooijen (ChristenUnie, State Secretary for Youth and Prevention).
In recent days, the formateur has also held talks with candidate ministers throughout the day. The new Rutte cabinet is expected to be on the platform on Monday.
