Key Takeaways

  • A wealth tax amendment pushed by D66 and CDA with opposition support passed the lower house despite VVD opposition, straining the coalition ahead of Friday’s talks.
  • VVD’s refusal to back the government’s own tax plan—calling the outcome “disillusioning”—made coalition survival uncertain until talks restored cooperation.
  • The crisis highlights the fragility of the minority three‑party coalition and the ongoing challenges of governing without a parliamentary majority.
