Mark Rutte, the Prime Minister of Netherlands, recently went viral on social media for all the right reasons after a video of him cleaning up coffee he had dropped in the Dutch Parliament went viral recently.
In the video, posted on Twitter by a Dutch diplomat, the PM can be seen picking up a coffee cup that he had accidentally dropped on the Parliament floor.
Amid cheers from the cleaning staff, Rutte went on to take the mop from them and started cleaning up the spilt liquid.

Dutch PM #MarkRutte accidentally dropped his coffee but instead of waiting for help went ahead and swept the floor himself to clean the mess! Will the self entitled and arrogant politicians learn some humility from this? pic.twitter.com/EKODRyXqk9 — Mona kanwal (@monakaran) June 5, 2018

This is Dutch Prime Minister, dropped his coffee... And see his reactions.... Wish our worthy Indian politicians could see this & act instead of doing photo op's for PM's Swatch Bharat. ???? pic.twitter.com/yw14GbzBJc — NammaNaMo19 (@NetHindu1) June 5, 2018
Amid the frenzied praise, however, one Twitterati made a sobering observation.
This story is literally just the fact that the Dutch prime minister spilt some coffee, then cleaned it up. We have very low expectations of politicians in 2018 https://t.co/2vdcmp823x — Claire Phipps (@Claire_Phipps) June 5, 2018
