Rutte only has a few months after Christmas to get over before the March election anyway.
As rutte is an arch conservative I hope we get rid of him. This is the dutch press on the outcome:
Still, the Italians don't get the money just like that; the European Union will monitor its use. Reason for former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini to firmly reject the deal. "We see this deal as a super-ESM, it's a huge deception," he tweeted, referring to the European Stability Mechanism.
Rutte said today that he is satisfied with the agreement. As far as he is concerned, all important points for the Netherlands are included. The Hague was not in favor of a recovery fund, and certainly not support through subsidies, because they do not have to be repaid. Rutte eventually gave up the opposition to this, because he was able to secure guarantees about how it was spent, with a focus on economic reforms.
