Cabinet
Government Seeks Deals with Both Left and Right, but Left Shows More Enthusiasm
The Dutch cabinet plans to compromise with both left and right parties to secure budget majorities, dropping cuts to social security for the left while reforming box 3 wealth taxes for the right. Left-wing parties like Pro expressed greater enthusiasm than right-wing groups Ja21 and SGP after meetings with Prime Minister Rob Jetten and Finance Minister Eelco Heinen. While left parties welcomed the removal of welfare cuts, right parties were disappointed by the lack of concessions on migration and abortion restrictions.
