GroenLinks, PvdA members vote in favor of joint Eerste Kamer faction

NL Times  

GroenLinks members voted to form a faction with the PvdA in the Eerste Kamer at a referendum early Saturday afternoon, shortly after members of the PvdA also voted in support of the proposal. A little while before, 77 percent of PvdA members voted in favor of the joint faction at a congress in Nieuwegein. The merger has been a long time coming: in 2021, GroenLinks party leader Jesse Klaver said cooperation would be necessary to avoid another right-wing Cabinet. PvdA chairwoman Esther-Mirjam Sent promised to make a "joint fist" with this left-wing faction against the "right-wing Cabinet," while Kuiken added that the country needed the "strong cooperation" between the two parties.
