The viability of the cabinet is at stake during the discussion of the Tax Plan, CDA leader Bontenbal speaks of 'casino politics'

The minority cabinet of D66, VVD, and CDA struggles to secure support for its Tax Plan, leaving its fate in the hands of the opposition. CDA leader Henri Bontenbal criticized the situation as 'casino politics', emphasizing the urgency to find a majority before the vote on November 12. Despite extensive negotiations, the coalition has failed to reach an agreement, with the VVD reluctant to collaborate with Pro. The opposition parties, including JA21 and Pro, have set conditions that complicate the cabinet's path forward. The cabinet's inability to make decisive choices raises questions about its viability, as it faces potential rejection in the Senate if it cannot secure broader support.
