Dutch: Dutch Government and Lubbers

dutch: The Dutch government announced that Lubbers died in Rotterdam surrounded by his wife and children, according to CTV. No cause of death was given. He was 78. Prime Minister Mark Rutte hailed Lubbers, who led the Dutch government from 1982 to 1994, as a statesman who dragged the Netherlands through tough economic times. Lubbers' conservative economic policies were in step with his counterparts in Washington and London during the 1980s, U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. With his broad knowledge and experience and his tireless creativity, he knew how to find a solution for every problem, Rutte said on Facebook. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
