Dutch opposition leader Dilan Yeşilgöz says the Netherlands’ minority government cannot continue in its current form, as coalition parties prepare for further talks this weekend and she says she has not ruled out the government falling.
Yeşilgöz, leader of the liberal VVD, called the minority administration a “failed experiment”. She is seeking both a change in policy, to address what she describes as harmful effects for businesses, and a political shift: she says coalition partners CDA and D66 too often look to the left for support.
She said she was not yet sure either demand would be met and had drawn no conclusions. Prime Minister Rob Jetten also wants more talks, Yeşilgöz said. The coalition parties are due to continue discussions over the weekend to see whether they can reach agreement.
