LIVE Coalition crisis | Prime Minister Jetten to meet with deputy prime ministers this morning after parliament approves tax plan

Prime Minister Rob Jetten is meeting with his deputy prime ministers to address a coalition crisis following the House of Representatives' approval of the 2027 tax plan. The legislative package currently lacks a majority in the Senate, leaving both the tax reforms and the future of the cabinet uncertain.

Prime Minister Rob Jetten is scheduled to meet with his deputy prime ministers this Friday morning as a political coalition crisis continues in the Netherlands. The discussions follow a recent vote in the House of Representatives where members approved a significant tax plan for 2027, an action that opposition leader Jesse Klaver described as a necessary step to prevent national chaos. Despite this victory in the lower house, the legislative package still lacks a guaranteed majority in the Senate, where previous attempts to pass the bill have stalled.

The current atmosphere in The Hague remains tense as the survival of both the government and the proposed tax reforms hangs in the balance. While the coalition parties and several supporting groups managed to secure sufficient votes in the lower chamber, the uncertainty surrounding the Senate remains a critical hurdle. Prime Minister Jetten expressed hope that his cabinet can weather this crisis, though political commentators warn that the risks of collapse persist until a definitive agreement is reached across both parliamentary houses.
