NETHERLANDS: Informateur Backs Centre/Centre-Right Talks; Centre-Left Excluded
Reuters reports that, according to informateur (lead negotiator) Sybrand Buma, the progressive Democrats 66 (D66), centrist Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), and centre-right People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) have been advised to start talks on the formation of a possible governing coalition. VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz said the three parties sitting down marked an "interim step", but that there was still work to do. The three parties would together hold 66 seats in the 150-member House of Representatives, short of the 76 required for a majority.
- Buma did not recommend the inclusion of the centre-left GreenLeft-Labour Party (GL-PvdA) in the coalition talks. This drew an angry reaction from party leader Jesse Klaver, who claimed the VVD was being 'rewarded' for its 'blockade' in opposing the GL-PvdA joining the coalition. Yesilgöz has said her preference would be for the right-wing conservative JA21 to join the coalition. This would give the gov't 75 seats, one short of a majority.
- Telegraaf: "According to [D66 leader Rob Jetten], the past few weeks have shown that there is no "logical" route to a cabinet. "This requires maximum creativity and responsibility from everyone." As far as Jetten is concerned, the talks are now proceeding at a rapid pace, with an emphasis on finding "a solution that can fly"."
- Buma's final report on potential coalition options and negotiations is due to be presented tomorrow (Tuesday, 9 Dec).
