New Dutch cabinet to have 29 members, five ministers for PVV
The new Dutch cabinet will comprise 29 ministers and junior ministers, nine of them appointed by the far-right PVV, party leaders have confirmed.
Geert Wilders’s party will take charge of the newly created ministry for asylum and migration as well as the ministries of health, infrastructure and economic affairs.
The right-wing liberal VVD has retained the justice ministry, which is being vacated by party leader Dilan Yesilgöz, and will appoint the ministers for finance and defence. It will also take charge of an expanded climate portfolio that includes “green growth”.
NSC, led by Pieter Omtzigt, will have the ministries of home affairs and foreign affairs, with career diplomat Casper Veldkamp expected to take the latter post, as well as education and social affairs.
The farmers’ party BBB will have both the minister and junior minister in the department of agriculture, which will include fisheries in its title for the first time in 21 years, as well as the housing ministry. Former junior minister Mona Keijzer has been earmarked for the latter role.
Although the parties agreed at an earlier stage to form a “programme cabinet”, with half the posts filled by non-political appointees, in practice only prime minister-elect Dick Schoof is unaffiliated with any party. moar 1stpicrel - 2ndpic posted bc of Geert Wilder's tie color

They all do it, it's everywhere… I don't think they have a choice. I even didn't think about it while reading it. I'm already reading over it.
