Coalition members relieved and 'very happy' about aversion of Cabinet collapse

The attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam last week and alleged racist statements in the Cabinet led to a crisis meeting of the Dutch government on Friday. BBB leader Caroline van der Plas also expressed her relief that a cabinet collapse had been averted and was “very happy” that the cabinet and the coalition parties had reached an agreement. It was a "fierce conversation", said Nicolien van Vroonhoven after crisis talks with the other coalition leaders and the top of the cabinet. According to Van Vroonhoven, the NSC faction wanted to "form a front around the State Secretary" in the cabinet. Ultimately, according to her, NSC will continue because there is "confidence" in the coalition with PVV, VVD, and BBB.
