As the Netherlands prepares to celebrate the second Christmas under strict health restrictions, Prime Minister Mark Rutte admitted in an interview with De Telegraaf that he had made “mistakes” in managing the health crisis.
Liberal Rutte, in an interview published today, acknowledged that he had made “communication” mistakes and admitted that the booster campaign “could have started earlier”.
“I have not been able to convince people enough about the basic measures,” he told the Telegraaf.
“At the beginning of the pandemic, I insisted too much on the responsibility of the people and too little on the mandatory measures,” he said, acknowledging that “communication mistakes” had been made.
