Dutch media on November 10th continued to foreground the stalled cabinet formation. Morning reports highlighted the impact of a weaker dollar on Dutch funds and the nascent drone industry. However, the ongoing political deadlock quickly re-emerged as a central theme, with Trouw noting the silence of the 'kingmaker' CDA, a party critical to resolving the impasse.
As the day progressed, the focus intensified on the formation, with Jetten emphasizing the need for substantive plans before selecting coalition partners. Evening reports from NRC further underscored the deep-seated mutual blockades among party leaders, who, despite the lack of progress, did not perceive themselves as the problem. Late in the evening, Verkenner Koolmees's inclination towards a 'motor block' coalition, with or without the VVD, suggested a potential shift in strategy.
