Live | Wilders wants clarity from D66 about coalition's 'open marriage'
During a parliamentary debate on the government's tax plan, D66 member Oosterhuis faced questions about the coalition's voting unity. He acknowledged potential differences in voting among coalition parties, emphasizing the intent to work together. Wilders questioned whether D66 would vote differently from VVD and CDA, referring to the coalition's 'open marriage' concept, which allows for varied voting on amendments. The coalition parties have agreed to seek majorities independently from each other on financial matters not covered by their coalition agreement. This situation reflects underlying tensions within the coalition, particularly with CDA leader Bontenbal expressing criticism towards VVD.
