Jan Peter Balkenende was the Dutch Prime-Minister from 2002 to 2010. During this time the Netherlands joined the Invasion of Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, (at that time Prince) Willem-Alexander Ferdinand, Queen Beatrix Armgard and Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti survived a terror attack resulting in 9 deaths[1]. During his first presidential run, he was actually trailing in the polls, but won after the expected winner Pim Fortuyn got assassinated.[2] He is also known by the public for the fact that all his coalition governments didn't complete their terms.[3]


Early career

Being born near the Belgian Border, he departed for Amstelveen at 18 for the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam gaining a masters degree in history and Dutch law. With the VU-University being noted for a more Christian approach to science he became a guest professor for the university in Christian social and civic thinking and economics.[4] After receiving funding from the CDA during his time there, he became city councillor in Amstelveen.[5]


Political Shift

The CDA-party was a standard part of the Dutch coalition governments from World War 1 up until 1982. Neocons and social democrats formed an alliance during 8 years with Wim Kok that last until 2002 when the Dutch cabinet fell following public outrage on multiple massacres in the invasion of Yugoslavia where the Dutch army failed to intervene or stood down on undisclosed orders.[6] During this time the Dutch Labour Party became increasingly unpopular following several surges of multinationals and privatizations, civil unrest in the inner city targeting Muslims - with which 9/11 didn't help, the internet-bubble and the Dutch becoming the leading Dutch supplier of several soft and hard drugs in Europe.[7] In the last week of march of [[2002 |]] a new right-wing politician by the name of Pim Fortuyn had completely taken over the polls and was set to win the election. Balkenende was keen to form a coalition but Fortuyn - especially for that time - became increasingly more radical, seemingly promoting the idea of removing the first amendment of the Dutch constitution prohibiting discrimination, calling the Islam a backwards culture, remarking the country was "full".[8]


Fortuyn got assassinated by an activist with shady backgrounds. Balkenende won the election and the remaining Fortuyn party members joined Balkenende and the VVD for the most right-wing coalition in the history of the country, only lasting 87 days. Balkenende faced severe criticism for his "loose" style of leading; most Dutch preceding PMs were known to be absolute leaders demanding little public arguing. Piet Hein Donner was a important spokesperson and became an informal head figure during this time.[9]


War on terror and drugs

During the 90s the Dutch controversial drug policy became problematic when many countries European countries raised their sentences as drug smuggling became a problematic occurrence[10]. Amsterdam - already known as a place where paedophiles got tour-guided and hundres of boys were picked up in local bars in and outside the red light district[11] - had multiple hot spots in the inner city centre where tourists got violently mugged by heroin[12] and XTC-addicts the minute they entered the street[13]. The Dutch drug-policy had a complex system where the limited sale of cannabis was allowed to adults, hard drugs were banned and possession was met with high sentences, but the dealing, trading, residential growing of cannabis was forbidden during all these decades, utilizing a 'don't know, don't tell policy' regarding coffeeshops as selling cannabis was in fact, neverlegalized.[14]

Balkenende was met with strong public opposition as Amsterdam was experiencing a new golden age of drug-tourism, but with support from prominent figures as Dries van Agt and Els Borst he tried to gain support for closing coffeeshops and the sale of cannabis all together, citing up to 10.000 addicts with up to 1400 being children the Amsterdam Dutch health service gave, He held this viewpoint until the end of his final presidency. His efforts slowly turned the Dutch in a country where the border-regions and big cities called for invasive laws and operations to reduce or kill the drug policy. Since 2002 the Dutch PM has always been from a party that doesn't support the Dutch drug policy. He oversaw the Dutch involvement in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan in 2003 and the Iraq War. First only giving civilian aid, but soon given responsibly of whole provinces of the invasion.[15]


Wikileaks

In a big leak of diplomatic cables, Balkenende turned out to be quite an achiever during the Iraq War and Afghan War, gaining Dutch support for joining the intervention in both cases, promising to seemingly back the US as long as they would've been there. The cables called him a "harry potter-lookalike". He was praised for keeping support during his tenure for the JSF-project regarding the multi-role stealth jet-plane from Lockheed Martin. He only gained support after Pim Fortuyn was assassinated. He kept supporting the program despite resistance from his coalition partners in parliament.

After 8 years Balkenende was called the "champion of the Dutch-American cooperation".[16] Diplomatic cables revealed he promised Dutch military support for 10 years would he have not been defeated in 2010 elections by Mark Rutte when Dutch parliament got deadlocked until Geert Wilders promised to vote with the government in a form of confidence and supply for the minority government. Balkenende left politics after 2010.


Extraordinary Rendition

According to an international weekly journal of science called Nature Research Balkenende's government oversaw at least 27 instances of the CIA planes using Dutch airports near Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague for extraordinary rendition in his first 4 years. The leaked reports and their findings were not reported in Dutch commercially-controlled media.[17]

I don't get why you are so annoying and negative about this. Let be happy together! Let's say: The Dutch are finally able to do this again, that VOC-mentality, looking beyond borders, dynamic! Right?!.

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
