- On June 3, Dick Schoof, the former head of the Dutch secret service, was sworn in as the new prime minister of the Netherlands.
- He is leading a broad right-wing coalition cabinet, promising to implement the country's "toughest ever" immigration policy.
- King Willem-Alexander officiated the ceremony at the royal Huis Ten Bosch palace in The Hague, where Schoof and his cabinet ministers were sworn into office.
- Schoof's appointment came after lengthy negotiations between four coalition partners: Geert Wilders' right-wing Freedom Party (PVV), the Farmers Party (BBB), the liberal-conservative VVD and the new anti-corruption party NSC.
