Overview
- After meeting the verkenner, Yeşilgöz said she prefers a four- or five-party solution and remains opposed to including GroenLinks–PvdA.
- She reiterated she does not favor a minority cabinet and claimed she has heard no new signals from other parties over the weekend.
- Yeşilgöz suggested a cabinet could be formed before Christmas, whereas Wouter Koolmees recently assessed that chance as small due to lingering blockades.
- Koolmees is holding further consultations on Monday with CDA’s Henri Bontenbal, VVD’s Dilan Yeşilgöz, D66’s Rob Jetten and Senate president Mei Li Vos.
- D66, CDA and VVD are viewed as essential because they have excluded cooperation with the PVV, and adding JA21 would still fall short of a majority as smaller parties show little appetite to govern.
