Overview
- Dilan Yeşilgöz confirmed the VVD will enter substantive negotiations with D66 and CDA after a meeting with informateur Sybrand Buma.
- Informateur Buma’s final report advises the three parties to draft a ‘regeerbasisakkoord’ and to seek backing from other factions, with a parliamentary debate on the process set for Wednesday.
- Yeşilgöz said the D66–CDA base document needs significant changes, citing gaps on public finances and security, and rejected adopting it with only minor edits.
- Buma said both a minority and a majority cabinet remain possible; the VVD still prefers pursuing a majority with JA21 but does not rule out a minority outcome with D66 and CDA.
- A D66–CDA–VVD combination controls 66 of 150 seats in the House and lacks a Senate majority, and new polling shows growing acceptance among their voters for a three-party minority cabinet.
