‘Always very pleasant’

Is Merel looking forward to her maternity leave? “Yes and no. I am also on maternity leave in June. Then VI is no longer there, but the Oranjezomer and that is always very pleasant. I think I will be restless, because then politics will still be running. ”

Ten weeks

How long will Merel be gone? ”You have to go for ten weeks in a row and then you can start again. July, August and September. But I just want to start again in September, because then politics will start again. “
