We work on the foundations of the Netherlands and of our Kingdom. On strengthening democracy, upholding fundamental rights and ensuring good governance. We protect our country's most valuable asset: our constitution and the agreements it contains. The agreement that everyone matters, for instance. That everyone can be who they are, without exception; have their own opinions; have the same opportunities and play an equal part in society. At home, at school and at work. Online and offline. We work to ensure that people in every region can build a good life. Including in the areas of Groningen affected by natural gas extraction, where people should also be able to live and work safely and comfortably. That’s how we work on the foundations. For society and for central government. So that other ministries can perform their own work for the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of our Kingdom.
