‘We have stepped beyond our shadow,’ says CDA leader Bontenbal. Now it is ‘up to the VVD to respond’.

CDA leader Henri Bontenbal expresses satisfaction with the agreement reached with D66, Pro, and Volt, emphasizing the need for a response from the VVD. He believes the deal, which targets wealthy individuals without affecting small savers or businesses, is defensible and beneficial for all parties involved. Bontenbal praises Pro leader Jesse Klaver for his concessions to reach the agreement, which aims to raise 1 billion euros from the wealthy to alleviate the burden on workers. He concludes that a deal with Pro and Volt is more promising than alternatives with right-wing parties.
