Dutch Liberal Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s victory yesterday makes him the second euro-area leader, after Estonia’s Andrus Ansip, to win re-election since Europe’s financial crisis dawned in 2009.
Party leaders today agreed to Rutte’s proposal to let Henk Kamp, the minister of social affairs, explore possible coalitions and next week recommend starting talks, Parliament chairwoman Gerdi Verbeet said in The Hague.
