The new Dutch Government
Installed by Dutch King Willem-Alexander on Monday, January 10, 2022 after the longest formation process in the history of The Netherlands.
The new government has been sworn into office in the Netherlands, a record 299 days after the country's last election.
For the first time in Dutch political history, half of the 20 senior Cabinet ministers are women. Fourteen of the 29 ministers and secretaries of state will also be led by female politicians.
One of them, D66 leader Sigrid Kaag, the new finance minister, took part in the swearing-in by videoconference because she is isolating after testing positive for COVID-19.
