Retirement from House of Representatives edit

Beertema did not stand in the Dutch general election of November 2023. He had been placed 16th on the list of Party for Freedom candidates, and considered this too low given his experience in the party, and turned the option down. During the coalition forming process, he questioned the ability of his party to govern, given its representatives' lack of experience.[2]
