  • De Hofvijver Is Een Uitgave Van Hoe Het CDA Anders Tegen De Islam Is Gaan Aankijken
    Nieuwsbrief jaargang 1, nummer 8, 31 oktober 2011 'In het diepe...' Agenda Een minister-president krijgt in zijn eerste jaar vaak te maken met nieuwe, november/december 2011, grote en soms zelfs onverwachte problemen en andere tegenvallers. Uit een Den Haag onderzoek van het Parlementair Documentatiecentrum blijkt dat premier Rutte 'Immigratiepolitiek in niet de eerste is die kort na de start van zijn kabinet 'overvallen' wordt met een Nederland en Europa' lastige kwestie: de Eurocrisis. Het blijkt vaker voorgekomen te zijn, zo laat Bert - collegereeks van den Braak op parlement.com zien. 15 november 2011, De Haag Premier Den Uyl kreeg binnen een jaar te maken met de oliecrisis (1973), zijn 'Waar visie ontbreekt, verre voorganger Drees werd geconfronteerd met de Indonesische kwestie komt het volk om' (1948) en premier De Quay liep binnen de kortste keren tegen 'Nieuw-Guinea' - presentatie parlementair aan (1960). Premiers als Marijnen en Cals kregen problemen met het jaarboek koningshuis (Irene, Beatrix & Claus). Het kabinet-Biesheuvel bezweek al in het eerste jaar, net als Balkenende I, de kabinetten-Van Agt tuimelden van het ene 18/19 november 2011, in het andere conflict en als premier had Lubbers de handen vol aan de Groningen sanering van de overheidsfinanciën. 'De voorzitters van de Europese Commissie' 'De wijze waarop 'jonge' premiers die problemen aanpakten, verschilde sterk', - conferentie analyseert Van den Braak. 'Tamelijk nieuwelingen als De Quay en Balkenende Uitgebreide agenda > waren aanvankelijk nog wat onwennig.' Hoewel Rutte al redelijk wat Haagse ervaring had, heeft hij ook te maken met een andere, onbekende risicofactor: de PVV. Cartoon lees verder > Scheepsrecht voor Europa? Plaat van de maand Premier De Quay had het van meet af aan erg moeilijk.
