After 14 years of power Mark Rutte, president of the People's organization for Freedom and Democracy, the Dutch right came to the level – the Nationalist Freedom organization (PVV) Geert Wilders, the centre-right VVD, the centre-right NSC and the agrarna and populist BBB. However, the most crucial portfolio did not include any of the leaders of the coalition groups. The function of Prime Minister was chosen Dick Schoof, or actually Hendrikus Wilhelmus Maria “Dick” Schoof. erstwhile the decision was announced after 175 days of negotiations, the Dutch were confused. In a poll conducted by the tv programme "EenVandaag", 50% of respondents did not know who the leader was. Another 11 percent only knew him by name. He was born on 8 March 1957 to a Catholic household as 1 of 7 children. He's divorced, has 2 adult daughters adopted from China and runs marathons. According to ‘Politico’, Outside of work, he loves gadgets and media attention. However, he preferred not to cuff her erstwhile in 2021 he abandoned the Social Democratic Labour organization after more than 30 years of membership. He just said he didn't feel at home in it anymore.
Head of Secret Service
According to Frans Timmermans Schoof is a very loyal and dedicated civilian servant. Over the past fewer decades, he has held various crucial functions – he was the Chief Executive Officer of the Police, Head of the Office for Immigration and Naturalization, Head of the AIVD secret services, and the NCTV Anti-Terrorist Agency, Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice and Security. But it usually worked backstage. He himself, introducing himself to the citizens, seemed amazed by the nomination. He looked like a proverbial virgin who unexpectedly gave birth – commented on German “Die Tageszeitung”. However, he appeared from a good side – younger, more energetic than would consequence from a metric, handsome, thin, well-maintained. Newspapers mention a gag circulating among his associates: – Where's Dick? Where the mirror hangs. He besides seemed very direct due to the fact that he immediately broke the veil from private life, informing that he had been discussing a fresh occupation offer with his girlfriend and 2 children for a long time. He confessed that he wanted to Do Good, service the regulation of law, become Prime Minister of all the Dutch, shorten the distance between citizens and politics. Sounds perfect if it wasn't for the fact that he was going to implement a coalition agreement called Hope, Courage and Pride, and especially the country's most restrictive migration and asylum laws against which Dutch Muslims are already protesting. Experts foresee a large turn in politics and grievances in contacts with the Union. They propose that the Netherlands will want to pay little of the EU budget, mitigate the rules on nature and agriculture, and not favourably respond to the plans to adopt fresh members, including Ukraine.
Two scandals
O Schoofie is said to follow the rules, but he can besides bend them. He was active in 2 scandals. In 2015, he attempted to influence the government's final study on the safety services' conduct of the MH17 Malaysian aircraft crash, in which 196 Dutch died. In March of that year, he ignored warnings about the legality of spying through false social media accounts. Besides, he is Wilders' favourite candidate, praised by him to heaven for his achievements and honesty. However, the fresh Prime Minister powerfully denies that he was on the leash of president PVV. He stresses that he was elected not by the Nationalist organization of Freedom, but by all 4 coalitionists. – There is only 1 Prime Minister and it will be me – declared after the nomination. His government is to be more technocratic than political, although it is hard to believe, because, as 1 of the Dutch weeklys writes, Schoof He always respects the fact that politicians have the last word.
