Coalition parties divided: D66 'sympathetic' about Pro/Volt amendment, VVD calls it 'unthinkable'
The proposed amendment by Pro and Volt to increase wealth taxes is causing division among coalition parties. D66's Henk-Jan Oosterhuis expressed support for the amendment, calling it 'sympathetic', while VVD's Wendy van Eijk firmly opposed it, stating it contradicts the coalition agreement and is detrimental to the Netherlands. The VVD aims to lower taxes, creating a conflict with Pro and Volt's conditions for supporting the tax plan. Questions arise about the VVD's response if the amendment passes with support from D66 and CDA, but van Eijk avoids speculation on potential outcomes.
