Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has come under fire from opposition politicians after it was revealed that he has been manually deleting text messages from his old mobile phone for years.
Rutte had to delete standard text messages on his old Nokia phone because it had very little storage capacity, Dutch newspaper Volkskrant reported on Wednesday. The prime minister was handed a new phone last week.
