Tension in coalition over tax plan: 'this leaves scratches'

Tensions rise within the coalition of D66, VVD, and CDA after D66 and CDA reached a deal with leftist opposition parties regarding a tax plan. Negotiations continued until early morning, resulting in a proposed tax increase for the wealthy and a decrease for lower incomes. VVD leaders were informed only after the agreement was made, leading to dissatisfaction. The VVD is now in discussions about their response, while D66 and CDA await their reaction. The situation is critical for the cabinet, as VVD Finance Minister Heinen and D66 State Secretary Eerenberg will need to assess the deal. Premier Jetten faces questions about the cabinet's future in the upcoming parliamentary debate.
