New cabinet to be presented on January 10, De Jonge to leave health
Dutch NewsThe new cabinet will be presented to the public on January 10 in the traditional photograph with the king, and prime minister Mark Rutte will start his formal talks with potential ministers on Monday, Dutch media said on Thursday morning. The right-wing liberal VVD will have eight full and three junior ministerial posts, the liberal democratic party D66 six ministers and three juniors, the Christian Democrats four ministers and two juniors and ChristenUnie two ministers and one junior. De postenverdeling in het nieuwe kabinet laat zien dat Hugo de Jonge inderdaad niet zal terugkeren als minister van VWS. According to RTL Nieuws, D66 leader Sigrid Kaag is likely to get finance while Kajsa Ollongren, the current home affairs minister, may move to defence. Lawyer Christophe van der Maat who is a Noord Brabant provincial councillor on behalf of the VVD, is set to be junior defence minister.
