New Cabinet formation round focusing first on government finances, not next PM
NL TimesThe two people appointed to lead the new round of Cabinet formation negotiations said they are beginning by focusing on government finance. But this question will not yet be on the table in the "first few weeks," said Richard van Zwol on Thursday, who is leading the talks with Elbert Dijkgraaf. The subject of the discussion will be "chefsache," Van Zwol said, using the German word that became more common in Dutch politics to mean those issues that must be decided at the highest level. More transparency could either advance or hinder the process Both Dijkgraaf and Van Zwol "want to see if we can share something" if progress is made during the talks, Dijkgraaf said. The leaders of the four parties will still speak out publicly about other issues, a "fact of life" as Van Zwol said.
