VIDEO: African lady could not believe her eyes as she walk side by side with Netherlands Prime Minister

A heartwarming video has been circulating on social media, capturing a special moment between an African lady named Salma, a Sierra Leonean in the Netherlands and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte. In the video, they can be seen strolling side by side, without any bodyguards or an entourage of cars.
The lady couldn’t contain her excitement as she realized she was in the presence of the country’s prime minister, strolling down the same path. She expressed her astonishment, amazed at the sight of a nation’s leader casually walking the streets like an ordinary person.
During their walk, she mentioned that she was on her way to work, while the prime minister shared that he was off to see an ophthalmologist for a check-up on his glasses. It was a simple and humble encounter, highlighting the down-to-earth nature of the prime minister.
This video has stirred a range of reactions, with many people online, especially Africans expressing their disbelief and skepticism about such encounters with their own politicians in their home countries. When as heartwarming as it can be to have such an encounter, it’s a poignant reminder of the stark differences in accessibility and transparency between political leaders in various countries. Additionally, if you are not an African it may be difficult to understand how the lady must have felt correctly.
