Quick Summary

Prime Minister Rob Jetten's three-party coalition in the Netherlands is on the verge of collapse due to a disagreement over a tax plan. D66 and the Christian Democrats made a deal with two opposition parties to pass the tax package, but this agreement has upset another coalition party, putting the stability of the government at risk. The tax plan is essential for the annual budget, and the conflict occurred less than nine months into the four-year term of the current coalition.
