Cabinet Agrees 11th-Hour Budget Deal without Opposition Support - DutchNews.nl
Finance Minister Eelco Heinen said the minority government still lacks opposition backing as it prepares to send the budget to parliament.
- On Monday, the coalition of D66, CDA, and VVD reached a draft budget agreement following a marathon weekend of "tough" and "intensive" talks.
- The minority government remains 10 seats short of a majority in the Lower House and 16 short in the Senate, requiring support from at least two opposition parties.
- Coalition partners resolved internal differences over €6.5 billion in proposed budget cuts and reforms to the "Box 3" income tax module, Finance Minister Eelco Heinen said.
- Following the breakdown of opposition talks last week, Pro leader Jesse Klaver warned that the coalition had "not made choices" and "the problems have been delayed."
- Finance Minister Heinen will present the budget on September 15, though Justice Minister David van Weel acknowledged "nobody is proud of this process" as the cabinet seeks parliamentary approval.
