Dutch editorial focus on January 29 centered on the formal ratification of the Jetten-led cabinet. Following the previous day's 'white smoke,' morning headlines confirmed that the D66, VVD, and CDA parliamentary groups officially approved the 'Aan de slag' (To Work) coalition agreement, signaling a transition from negotiation to governance. By midday, media attention shifted toward financial volatility and international security. Editors prioritized a sharp surge in gold prices and a plummeting dollar, linked to President Trump’s fiscal policies, while domestically reporting the government’s decision to bypass court-ordered flight reductions at Schiphol Airport. Simultaneously, health desks raised alarms over the Nipah virus in India. The evening coverage was dominated by the European Union’s unanimous decision to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. This geopolitical escalation coincided with reports from the Trump administration of a temporary Russian ceasefire in Kyiv due to extreme cold, a development that editors noted drew public gratitude from President Zelensky.
