Dick Schoof, a top justice official with no political experience, has been selected as the next Dutch prime minister after more than six months of coalition negotiations. His appointment marks a shift from the 13-year leadership of Mark Rutte, with the new government aiming to include political outsiders to create more distance between Parliament and the cabinet.
