PORTRAIT. Good-natured, good-spoken and high-heeled: will Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius (46) become the very first female Prime Minister of the Netherlands today? | Abroad

If the liberal VVD wins the Dutch parliamentary elections today, our northern neighbors will immediately welcome their first female Prime Minister ever with current Minister of Justice Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius (46). The pinnacle of a political blitz career: at the age of seven she ended up as a Turkish-Kurdish woman on a refugee boat in the Netherlands and ten years ago she was ‘only’ a city councilor in Amsterdam. Meet a ‘big mouth’ and control freak. “The script for my wedding even stated when it was possible to go to the toilet. And that it could last 3 minutes.”
