Three new trainees start at Public Matters
Since the start of the political year, Public Matters has welcomed three new trainees. We are very pleased that Berber Dotinga, Lukas Prinsen and Mike de Wit will strengthen our team for the coming six months, especially in this busy political period with the national elections in March 2021.
