Minister Schouten just doesn't get enough

From the Boerenbusiness Poll has shown that Minister Carola Schouten (Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality) is just not getting enough. The majority of the 1.726 voters give Schouten an insufficient.

The average report mark for the minister is 5,1. It is slightly unsatisfactory, although the majority (56%) of the voters give her a 5 or lower. About 44% gave Schouten a 6 or higher, and therefore a pass. 

Divided reactions
At least as interesting are the reactions. A frequently heard response is that the minister does not earn a serious insufficient, because she is doing relatively well within the set frameworks. This is also caused by the situation that her predecessors left behind.

However, there are also critical reactions. These are mainly about the fact that the minister should have done more for the pinched and the preservation of neonicotinoids† The response also shows that the minister should do more to reduce regulatory pressure.
