27.01.2026 โ‡ข The Coalition Agreement Day
โŒจDutch editorial focus on January 27 was initially split between international trade and domestic infrastructure. In the morning, editors prioritized the signing of a historic free trade agreement between the EU and India, alongside investigative reports into a near-disaster at Schiphol Airport involving an imploded kerosene tank and a piece of masking tape.
By midday, the domestic agenda shifted toward a major criminal breakthrough as headlines dominated with the arrest of a 25-year-old suspect in the New Year's Day killing of two Syrian teenagers. Simultaneously, legal and financial outlets focused on a Court of Appeal ruling that Uber drivers are not automatically employees, a significant development for the gig economy.
The evening saw a total convergence of media attention on national politics. After weeks of fiscal deadlock, editors announced "white smoke" as the D66, VVD, and CDA reached a coalition agreement. The day concluded with broad coverage of this political resolution, overshadowing reports of systemic transparency failures within the benefits scandal department.
