What requirements does a mayor have to meet?
As mayor you must meet a number of requirements. There are five basic competencies: integrity, recognizable, independent, connecting and stress-resistant.
In addition, the municipal council itself draws up a profile sketch. This contains the wishes and describes what the council believes suits a municipality well. In Bunschoten, among other things, a person is asked who “is or wants to become one of us”. The new mayor must understand the fishing village well.
