Week talks fail to reach breakthrough on forming a new coalition

Dutch News  

Talks on forming a new government will resume a week on Monday after informal meetings this weekend failed to produce concrete results. Chief negotiator Johan Remkes told reporters on Sunday that the talks between the VVD, D66 and the CDA had been ‘good’, but complicated by the events of last week. CDA defence minister Ank Bijleveld, who first said she would stay on the job, resigned a day later, which CDA officials saying they had been taken by surprise by Kaag’s decision. Concrete plans Prime minister Mark Rutte said after the talks that they had been ‘very intensive’ and that the atmosphere was ‘excellent’. The budget is a holding one, given the government is acting in a caretaker capacity but ‘everyone realises that the door to GroenLinks, the Labour party and ChristenUnie must remain open,’ Rutte said.
