Minority cabinet seeks support for tax plan, Klaver critical of House of Representatives
Published
The minority cabinet of the Netherlands is still seeking a majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate for its tax plan. A minority cabinet does not have enough seats to get its own plans through parliament. It therefore has to negotiate with other parties for support.
Party leader Jesse Klaver says that, in his view, the House of Representatives is not willing to work together with the left. He indicates that this is an important reason why it is difficult to find a majority for the tax plan. Klaver has voiced this criticism in the political debate about the plan.
The tax plan is important because it may have consequences for many Dutch people, for example for incomes, taxes and the country's finances. Because the cabinet does not have its own majority, the plan can only be adopted if enough parties agree to it. That makes the negotiations in parliament especially important.
For now, it is not yet clear whether the cabinet will get the support it needs. In the coming period, it will become clear whether the parties in the House of Representatives and the Senate can reach an agreement on the tax plan.
