Pro leader Jesse Klaver stated that the cabinet has shown its first genuine willingness to consider removing cuts to unemployment benefits (WW) and disability insurance (WIA), though he noted the devil is in the details. Pro and Volt are negotiating together to help form a stable majority, while significant differences remain regarding wealth tax and investment plans for AI and climate change. This alliance increases pressure on the VVD, as both parties aim to reduce wealth inequality through measures like abolishing mortgage interest deduction, which conflicts with right-wing parties.
