## Resource

Prime Minister Jetten’s minority Cabinet is in a tight spot as budget approval hangs in the balance—no clear path to get enough votes, forcing today’s parliamentary showdown. With coalition partners split between pushing for broad deals or smaller, department-by-department compromises, a surprising pivot came from JA21’s Joost Eerdmans, who proposed partial approvals—but with firm opposition to climate and asylum policies. While some coalition members like the VVD are warming to the idea, others including D66 and CDA remain wary, hoping for stability through full-package support. Wilders scoffs at Eerdmans’ strategy, calling it a political ploy, but all eyes are now on Jetten to decide how far his government will go to stitch together a fragile budget deal.
