PRO and Volt Join Forces to Negotiate Budget Support with the Cabinet
Progressief Nederland (PRO) and Volt will negotiate as a single bloc with the Jetten cabinet regarding the 2027 budget, aiming to secure support for the minority government in both chambers. Party leaders Jesse Klaver and Laurens Dassen will jointly discuss Prime Minister Jetten's new plan focusing on purchasing power, social security, and wealth tax with Jetten and Finance Minister Eelco Heinen. The cabinet seeks backing from both left and right opposition parties, including JA21, SGP, ChristenUnie, 50PLUS, and BBB. While JA21 and SGP also cooperate, they lack sufficient seats in the Senate. Following criticism during recent parliamentary debates, the Second Chamber will hold financial discussions next week.
