The Dutch government has managed to avoid resignation by resolving a political crisis within the ruling coalition over tax reforms, NOS reports, citing sources.
An agreement was reached following seven hours of emergency talks between Prime Minister Rob Jetten and his deputies Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius and Bart van den Brink.
It was reported that the right-liberal People's Party for Freedom and Democracy will remain in the ruling coalition despite disagreements over tax reforms.
The dispute was triggered by a reform aimed at reducing the tax burden on working citizens while increasing taxes on wealthy individuals.
It should be noted that on November 12, the lower house of the Dutch parliament approved the tax plan for 2027 by 76 votes in favor and 74 against.
The People's Party for Freedom and Democracy voted against the document. This was because its coalition partners, Democrats 66 and the Christian Democrats, supported an opposition proposal to increase taxes on wealthy citizens.
Details of the agreement are expected to be announced at a press conference scheduled for 19:30 local time by Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
