The VVD no longer has the coalition in a chokehold: D66 and CDA strike a deal with the left

D66 and CDA have reached an agreement with Pro and Volt on a tax plan amendment without VVD's involvement, challenging the coalition's stability. VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz claims this breaks the coalition agreement, raising questions about the future of the minority cabinet. The amendment proposes higher taxes on wealth while reducing taxes on labor, aiming to create a fairer tax system. The coalition's ability to survive hinges on whether VVD can accept this shift, as internal dissent grows within the party. The outcome remains uncertain as the amendment faces potential opposition from smaller parties.
