Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!
@Gargron Oooh, does Mark Rutte have an account? I'd like to ask a question or twenty.
@Bjørn Larssen 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 AFAIK he's only on the birdsite. And asking him questions requires a lot of skill: he's as slippery as an eel and will usually answer in a way that doesn't answer any question, but steers the conversation in a direction he likes.

@hans "Slippery" and "slick" are the two words that always come to my mind when someone asks me to describe Rutte. I have no idea what his personality traits are, because he's too slippery for me to grab and take a close look.

I won't miss him. Unless Caroline van der Plas replaces him. Then I'll suddenly discover deep love I have held for Rutte all this time…

@Bjørn Larssen 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 I'm afraid there's quite a chance he'll be succeeded by Yesilgöz. She doesn't mince words like Rutte, but she's further to the right than he is.
