◆5 sources

Former footballer Tom Beugelsdijk has resigned as a city councillor for Hart voor Den Haag after serving since March. He remains living in Rijswijk because of a changed private situation and arrangements involving his children, rather than moving to The Hague. As he is no longer registered in The Hague, he cannot remain a councillor there. One report said the house in The Hague where he had been registered still needed to be converted.
