The Netherlands has inaugurated a new government with a different prime minister for the first time in 14 years. Dutch King Willem-Alexander swore in the new government, which took more than seven months to form after elections dominated by a far-right, anti-Islam party.
The new prime minister, Dick Schoof, a former head of the Dutch intelligence agency and counterterrorism office, signed the official royal decree at Huis Ten Bosch Palace. The 67-year-old Schoof was formally installed alongside 15 other ministers who make up the country’s right-leaning coalition.
