Rob Jetten, 38, was sworn in as the Netherlands' youngest prime minister and its first openly gay leader. Jetten leads a new coalition government formed by his centrist D66 party, the VVD, and the CDA. The three parties hold a minority in parliament, requiring them to negotiate policies. His appointment as prime minister has been met with both support and criticism, with some questioning his ability to govern due to his minority status and the coalition's lack of a majority.
