His name is Barry Madlener, he is 54 years old and a leading politician of the far-right Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV). Since 01JUL24 he has also been Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management and is therefore responsible for the country’s airports, especially Schiphol, which accounts for 90% of commercial air traffic in the Netherlands. So far, he’s a blank slate – with no program, announcements or speech. Just nothing. However, his tasks are enormous.
