Prinsjesdag 2021: A sober budget from a crippled government

Dutch News  

The parliamentary year officially opens on Tuesday with the king’s speech from the throne and the presentation of the government’s 2022 spending plans. Elections The Volkskrant points out that at the beginning of this year, it was election manifestos ‘full of dreams’ which were in the spotlight, none of which will make the king’s speech. ‘And everything which is said and done on Tuesday, from the king’s speech to the financial statement, has a very short shelf life.’ The plans that will be published on Tuesday have been drawn up by the current coalition of VVD, D66, CDA and ChristenUnie. ‘The formation process has stranded, more and more ministers are being culled and the relationship between the main players is worsening.’ Today’s sums, says RTL Nieuws commentator Frits Wester, could be filled in with a pencil.
