He has said this at a conference with journalists, where he has talked about meeting the ministers of defence. [...]
This has been a democratic process. What we understand is that we have the initial results, but the vote count is still continuing and we will have the final results. And, based on the results so far, it seems there will be a coalition government”, Rutte said.
Of course, we make sure we work with anyone who leads the country. And of course we want all politicians all the best in running political space and to ensure that there is a stable government as soon as possible”, Rutte said.
