First openly gay politician leads minority government in the Netherlands for the first time in 80 years
In the Netherlands, 38-year-old Rob Jetten has become the head of a minority government—a first in eight decades. His appointment is notable as he is openly gay, marking progress in diversity and inclusion.
Rob Jetten began his political career in 2010, when at the age of 23 he was elected to the House of Representatives, becoming one of the youngest MPs in the country's history. He later became the youngest party leader in the Netherlands.
This appointment may influence the future political landscape by promoting a more open and diverse government.
