VVD leaders meet after tax deal between D66 and CDA with left bloc, cabinet crisis looms

The left bloc aims to shift 1 billion euros in taxes from labor to wealth, facing opposition from the VVD. D66 and CDA are more amenable to a softened plan. The coalition has agreed to allow differing votes without surprises. Support from other left parties is necessary for a majority. The plan includes higher taxes on profits over 60,000 euros and lower rates for profits below that threshold, among other adjustments.
