A minister of climate
'Strike by Minister of Agriculture'
Most likely there will be no Minister of Agriculture in the Rutte III cabinet. On the other hand, the Minister of Economic Affairs will also become Minister of Climate. The AD reports this on Wednesday morning.
Half a day later, the newspaper reports that according to 'insiders' Is there a minister of agriculture? takes a seat in the Rutte III cabinet. Previously reported Boerenbusiness all that it it is very likely that a minister of agriculture will be appointed. In the last week, Rutte will present his new ministerial team.
According to the AD, in the Rutte III cabinet, certain departments are headed by 2 ministers for the first time. Two ministers will be appointed to the posts of Security and Justice, Public Health and Education. As a result, there is no room for a separate Ministry of Agriculture, as the CDA wanted.
The CDA has reportedly not yet accepted the decision. Discussions will continue this week and a decision will be taken.
White smoke at the end of October
It is very likely that Rutte will be appointed as formateur after the debate on Thursday 12 October. From then on, he will be busy filling the ministerial posts. Next week the House will be in autumn recess.
In the last week of October, the new cabinet will probably be officially inaugurated and the new ministers will appear on the platform.
Ruth III
Rutte III will probably consist of 25 ministers, of which 16 ministers and 9 state secretaries. Rutte had never before had so many ministers under him. Pechtold (D66), Buma (CDA) and Segers (ChristenUnie) are not taking a seat in the cabinet, but remain party leader in the House of Representatives.
This message is an update.
