(BRUXELLES2) The Dutch Secretary of State for Defence, Jack de Vries (CDA) is now sleeping in the barracks. For what ? Question of privacy answered his spokesperson a little embarrassed. In fact, the situation at the marital home became untenable because of an extra-marital relationship. This situation had been going on for years and was known to a small circle according to our Dutch colleagues. The press having revealed the pot of roses, a solution had to be found. Its position obliging it to be permanently protected, so the best solution was... the barracks!

NB: The Dutch government has resigned and is subject to re-election. But it seems certain that the maintenance of De Vries, in his post of Defense, seems difficult. Too bad I liked his tweets...
