The Dutch Prime Minister announced on Monday his decision to leave politics, after the collapse of his government last Friday. Mark Ruttewhile clarifying that it does not concern him some top spot in an international organization.

Disagreements between coalition government partners over immigration policy caused the collapse of the Rutte government.

The 56-year-old Rutte, who is facing a motion of impeachment in Parliament after his government resigned, has announced that he does not intend to seek re-election for a fifth term addressing the Dutch parliamentarians at the Hague.

“Yesterday morning I made the decision that I will no longer be leader of the VVD (Party for Freedom and Democracy – the largest party in the collapsed government coalition) in the upcoming elections. When a new government takes over after the elections, I will leave politics,” he said. “I do it with mixed feelings, emotionally charged (…) But I feel I’m doing the right thing” he added.

Rutte, who leads the Netherlands since 2010, he is the longest-serving prime minister in the country’s history, and the second-longest after Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. He will remain as head of a caretaker government until a new government is formed after the next election, a process that in the Netherlands’ fragmented political landscape could take months.
