Parliament convened Wednesday morning to examine the collapsed Schoof cabinet, with Premier Schoof requesting continued support for Ukraine, trade issues, and the childcare benefits scandal despite governing in caretaker capacity. The debate quickly devolved into blame allocation, with Timmermans demanding VVD clarify whether it would exclude future PVV cooperation while Wilders branded NSC the "Nederlandse Sabotage Club."
Yesilgöz faced more intense questioning than Wilders himself, stating she had "no regret" about the PVV alliance while simultaneously calling Wilders "immature and irresponsible." The Electoral Council advised October 29 as the earliest election date, though Parliament preferred late September.
Within PVV ranks, Mona Keijzer positioned herself to replace Faber as asylum minister as internal power struggles erupted. Separately, NS launched a 24-hour nationwide railway strike, while a court revoked Schiphol's nature permit over nitrogen emissions, adding operational uncertainty to the political chaos.
