Warning from VVD to D66 and CDA puts coalition under high tension

A significant power struggle unfolded between coalition partners D66 and VVD during a parliamentary debate regarding tax proposals. The discussion centered on whether to support proposals from PRO and Volt to alleviate work-related tax burdens, costing €1.5 billion, funded by increased wealth taxes. VVD's Ruben Brekelmans firmly opposed changes to inheritance taxes, while D66's Henk-Jan Oosterhuis hinted at potential support for Klaver's proposal, raising tensions. Opposition leaders criticized VVD for its hardline stance, suggesting it jeopardized the coalition's unity. The deadline for voting on the tax plan is November 12, creating urgency for negotiations among coalition leaders.
