11.11.2025 โ‡ข The Day Koolmees Proposed New Coalition Approach
โŒจDutch media on November 11th focused heavily on the ongoing challenges in cabinet formation. Morning reports from de Volkskrant indicated Verkenner Koolmees was considering a strategic, potentially risky, method by initially involving Jetten and Bontenbal, with Yesilgรถz joining later. This was seen as an effort to break the impasse noted in previous days' summaries.

The afternoon saw further developments, with NRC and de Volkskrant reporting that Koolmees advised D66 and CDA to independently examine the formation, marking a departure from previous strategies and notably excluding the VVD from initial talks. This decision by Koolmees to pursue an โ€œunusualโ€ approach, tasking D66 and CDA with navigating the coalition, reflects the persistent difficulties in forming a government, a consistent theme in Dutch media over the past week.
