Pro willing to negotiate on WIA reform, but without budget cuts
Pro leader Jesse Klaver stated on 2026-09-14 in Utrecht that his party is open to discussing reforms to the WIA disability insurance, but only if planned budget cuts are dropped. Klaver warned coalition parties D66, VVD, and CDA that Pro will vote against the Social Affairs budget and tax plan if their concerns are ignored. The government wants to reform WIA, affecting 600,000 recipients, with cuts still planned for fully disabled individuals. Pro demands no benefit reductions and fair taxation for the wealthiest. An internal referendum on European Parliament alignment and party leadership runs from 2026-09-18 to 2026-09-25.
