Coalition Delays Talks with Opposition Despite Premier's Initial Promise
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten’s plan to quickly meet with opposition parties regarding the budget has been delayed due to his attendance at the UN General Assembly in New York. The cabinet will not invite opposition leaders until Friday, after coalition partners D66, VVD, and CDA reach internal agreement. Internal divisions persist over tax policies, particularly box 3 wealth tax, and potential partnerships with BBB. While VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz supports engaging with BBB leader Henk Vermeer, other coalition members view BBB as unreliable. The government must resolve these fundamental issues by mid-November to secure majority support for its tax plans.
