At the start of the new cabinet, some parties shiver when D66 presents Sjoerd Sjoerdsma (44) as minister. The former diplomat is praised for his drive and knowledge, but criticized for his 'political games' and vanity. On Tuesday, he will try to get his budget through the Senate with a chaotic deal. "He is not granted much, which has everything to do with his outspoken attitude."
