There will definitely be a change at the top of government in the Netherlands in the fall.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte is not running for another term.
Rutte said he would leave Dutch politics after the November elections.
Legend:
In autumn, 56-year-old Mark Rutte will have been Prime Minister of the Netherlands for 13 years, making him one of the longest-serving heads of government in the EU.

Rutte announced his government’s resignation on Friday. The reason for this is a dispute over migration policy. The differences between the four governing parties are irreconcilable when it comes to immigration, said Rutte. This is the fourth government under his leadership. Mark Rutte has been in office since 2010.
The previous four-party coalition broke up on Friday evening in the dispute over migration policy. The sticking point at the crisis meeting that led to the collapse of the government was a restriction on the family reunification of refugees who are already in the country.
