Frans Timmermans, the man tasked with spearheading the EU's ambitious climate policies, has resigned from the Commission to return to Dutch politics in the hope of becoming the country's next prime minister. #EuropeNews
Big ego, talks the talk, not sure if he’ll walk the walk.
TBH, not a fan of TimmerFrans, but he does have experience. And a lot of experienced members of parliament are about to leave after the coming elections.
On the plus side, I do applaud the fact that two left-wing parties (GroenLinks and Timmermans’ PvdA (Green party and Labour Party)) have merged. The Second Chamber has become very fragmented with currently 21(!) parties among 150 members. More is not always better, imho.
