No sight of a deal with the opposition yet: 'Fear that we will end up in a sandbox'

Henk Vermeer, leader of the BBB, expressed concerns about the government's lack of progress on nitrogen plans, which are crucial for their support of the tax plan. The cabinet has invited opposition parties for discussions after reaching some consensus on new proposals. The BBB demands significant changes to nitrogen policies, threatening to withhold support for the tax plan otherwise. Meanwhile, JA21's Joost Eerdmans insists on conditions regarding asylum policies. The cabinet faces pressure from various opposition parties with differing demands, complicating negotiations. The left-leaning parties, PRO and Volt, appear more flexible, focusing solely on tax adjustments.
