Never liked him as a politician. Wasn´t too pleased either when he became boss of the UNHCR, right wing politicians shouldn´t be looking after refugees. Now I read that in the two years that he has done his job, every single paycheck was sent back to the UN. He is doing this job for free. Cynics, and I have been accusing myself of being one, can easily point at his family capital (apparently he is number 262 on the list of the richest Dutchmen), which consists many millions, yet I have to admit I´m impressed. I´m not sure if I want to re-evaluate my p.o.v. over his political career as the longest serving after war prime minister of this country, but I have to give him respect for the work he is doing this moment.
