No deal with opposition on tax plan, debate in House of Representatives on Wednesday
The minority cabinet led by Jetten failed to secure support for the tax plan after discussions with seven opposition parties. Time is running out as a debate in the House of Representatives is scheduled for Wednesday. Leaders from 50Plus and ChristenUnie expressed concerns about the lack of a majority and the need for further negotiations. Meanwhile, Pro and Volt leaders criticized the cabinet for drifting away from potential collaboration. The cabinet also engaged with a new coalition of JA21, SGP, and BBB, who expressed conditional support for the tax plan. Despite setbacks, there are still discussions ongoing about finding a majority.
