Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet's chief of staff departs

Gerben Croonenborghs, chief of staff to Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet, has left his position. This is not a resignation but a departure. Croonenborghs, who joined Bihet's cabinet in February 2025, has extensive experience in nuclear energy, previously working for nuclear waste management and regulatory agencies. His departure comes as the government negotiates with a French energy company regarding nuclear power, a complex issue with significant financial and geopolitical implications.
