Netherlands PM Mark Rutte: In most countries of the world including India, when power is transferred, there is a lot of noise or commotion. In America, there was even a riot during the transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election results. However, there is one country where the transfer of power is so peaceful and simple that it has now become a topic of discussion. We are talking about the European country Netherlands.
In fact, when Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte left his post after being in power for 14 years, he left for home on a bicycle. He came on a bicycle and then reached his office in The Hague. After going inside, he met the leaders, shook hands with them, then accepted each other’s greetings and handed over the power. After this, he came out and bid farewell to everyone and left on a bicycle.
What’s in Mark Rutte’s video?
This video of Mark Rutte is going viral on social media. At the beginning of the video, he can be seen handing over the keys to the newly appointed Prime Minister Dick Schoof. After this, both the leaders go inside together. There, both of them talk to each other and answer the questions of the media. Finally, Rutte and Schoof come out. They shake hands with each other at the office door and wish each other all the best for the future.

It can be seen in the video that a bicycle is parked outside the office. After meeting Mark Rutte Schoof, he goes to the bicycle, opens its lock and sits on it. Then he turns back and says goodbye to the leaders present there along with his staff and leaves with the bicycle. He meets many leaders and people on the way. He accepts everyone’s greetings by waving his hand and goes towards home.
Who is Dick Schoof?
Dick Schoof has been the former intelligence chief of the country. He officially took over the PM office in the presence of King Willim-Alexander. The appointment of Schoof, who is an expert in intelligence department and anti-terror operations, to the post of PM has been quite surprising. He will now lead a right-wing coalition government. Schoof is not in alliance with any party.
