Minority Cabinet Negotiates with Opposition for Budget Support
Dutch Prime Minister Jetten is engaging opposition parties to secure support for the budget, proposing a new package focused on purchasing power, social security, and wealth tax. The minority cabinet aims to build broad backing, including from BBB, despite recent tensions. Coalition partners CDA, ChristenUnie, 50Plus, and Volt are debating whether to support left or right blocs or seek middle-ground solutions. While small parties hold limited seats, their potential cooperation could influence larger factions. Pro leader Klaver insists the government must choose between left and right alliances to ensure stability.
