People's Party for Freedom and Democracy	“Anyone that can't efface themselves for support of the liberal vision, can bugger off. There have been hassles ever since Bolkestein left.

Pieter Omtzigt	“Long I've objected comparing Malta and the Netherlands. But here something else is not functioning. That is power and opposing power. There is such an intimate connection between the coalition and parliament, between the parliament and the media, between the parliament and the justice system. If you ask difficult questions, you become the problem. There is something wrong with the checks and balances. And it goes further. The criminal justice system doesn't work anymore. All the NGOs that hog the government's money, all don't work anymore. Know what happens nowadays? They don't dare to speak, because the government will kill their subsidy. We've organized or system so precisely that our flock of politicians values the party-chairman more than the electorate.”	Pieter Omtzigt	19 January 2021
Pieter Omtzigt	“I've stopped with that case after Sybrand Buma stormed into my office. Because he had been given an instruction from Mark Rutte that I had to stop with the questions in parliament about Joris Demmink.”	Pieter Omtzigt	10 October 2020
Mabel van Oranje	“Mabel had attempted persistently to pocket the chairman of the JOVD, Jan Peter Balkenende's state secretary for social affairs Mark Rutte. Rutte's administrative colleagues at his party were so shocked by her stalk-ish behaviour that they protected their friend and chairman. Mabel appeared with the chauffeur of Klaas Bruinsma completely unannounced and ordered us to bring her to Mark's room. We staunchly denied because she was stoned as a shrimp and a complete mess.”	Mabel van Oranje PG Kroeger

Geert Wilders	“Mark is a gigantic control-freak. He gets irritated if he can't influence the results. But when the curtains fall down, he'll begin to shout profanities. (...) People don't know half of how far he goes. He looks a little bit like a school kid. Meanwhile, he's one of the biggest power-politicians.”	Geert Wilders	2020
Maria Zakharova	“NATO countries, and the Secretary General in particular, do not make decisions in the alliance because the United States dominates the organization. "In this structure, not even the member states decide anything, let alone the Secretary General. The Americans run everything.”	Maria Zakharova	26 June 2024
