The Dutch parliament has appointed two new go-betweens to spearhead negotiations for the formation of the next ruling coalition. This development comes four months after the anti-immigration party led by Geert Wilders emerged victorious in a national election.
The newly appointed figures, economist and former lawmaker Elbert Dijkgraaf, and Richard van Zwol, a former senior civil servant and current member of a key government advisory panel, are set to lead the way in the upcoming phase of government talks.
