Government in crisis: Coalition in the Netherlands heading for a restart
A dispute over tax reform and a tax on millionaires has rocked the Dutch government of Prime Minister Jetten. However, some want to prevent a break.
The Dutch minority coalition led by Prime Minister Rob Jetten is reportedly heading for a restart after long crisis talks. The VVD party has said the coalition is no longer in its current form and is calling for new coalition negotiations. The talks are ongoing, with Jetten pushing for a fresh start and negotiating with his coalition partners.
The crisis was sparked by a dispute over a tax reform and the introduction of a "millionaire tax", which the VVD opposed. The coalition has been in office for less than nine months and does not have a majority in either chamber of parliament.
