What does this MP stand for?
Three questions for Ruben Brekelmans.
1. What drives you to serve as an MP?
I became an MP to keep the Netherlands safe. We face serious threats, and we should strengthen our armed forces and our alliances through NATO.

Bolstering the armed forces should also include scaling up the companies that contribute to it. There are huge opportunities there. There are many innovative companies in the country that can play a role, strengthening both our security and our economy.
3. Who inspires you?
Canadian politician Michael Ignatieff. He has made mistakes over the course of his political career and wrote a book about it. I took his course myself and learned a lot about dealing with mistakes and the dilemmas that politics brings.
