## Resource

The Dutch budget crisis is boiling over as Pro party leader Jesse Klaver demands the government drop its welfare cuts to avoid collapse, while urging coalition parties to pick a side. Coalition members like D66’s Paternotte push for broad consensus, but opposition leaders warn the cabinet’s slim majority makes compromise tough. With Pro as the most viable partner, right-wing VVD leans toward JA21 and SGP deals, sparking internal dissent — including JA21’s Eerdmans, who calls for splitting the budget into left and right versions to end the deadlock.
