D66, CDA Report 'Hopeful' Progress as Buma-Led Talks Turn to Economy and Climate

Party leaders will present a draft agenda to parliament following expert consultations.

Overview

  • Informateur Sybrand Buma is steering structured negotiations between D66 and the CDA after a week of briefings from specialists.
  • Rob Jetten described the conversations as hopeful and said nitrogen policy prompted especially intensive discussions.
  • Henri Bontenbal said there is sufficient common ground to start putting proposals on paper, though differences remain unmistakable.
  • Friday’s sessions focus on economic and climate policy with input from former ASML CEO Peter Wennink, who was asked to advise on the investment climate.
  • The pair are working toward a three‑week “positive agenda” that will be submitted to the House with an outline of intended interlocutors, with decisions on additional coalition partners to come later.
