Interior
The cabinet crisis in The Hague is still not averted. Currently there are deliberated in the Turret between VVD and PvdA. A substantive deal would almost round. But the VVD willing to agree to this
Our political editor Thijs Niemantsverdriet:
The law of Schippers was voted by a small majority in the Senate. Three PvdA members voted against unexpected: Adri Duivesteijn Marijke Linthorst and Guusje Ter Horst. They are afraid that the insurers’ get even more power “as goes the plan of Schippers.
What it is about
According to stakeholders concerns now to the limit of vision loss. The VVD demands, startled by the unpredictable behavior of the Labour Party, that the senators will guarantee to vote for the compromise. But such a guarantee would not give the three – the difference with their principled opposition Tuesday is too big.
As often happens in The Hague, is there any way to search in a text composition in which both parties can live with. About which there is now under negotiation.
Content, they more or less agree, but the three PvdA want to give their verdict as a new law comes to the vote. Political editor of NRC Thijs Niemantsverdriet says:
“From the dissidents confirms that they can not guarantee in advance that they agree on a new vote or with the Health Care Act. They can for constitutional reasons only do when there is a vote in the Senate. “
The allied opposition parties D66, Christian Union and SGP propose to the debate already” pencil ” in setting the agenda for later in the day.
Can the government still fall?
Adri Duivesteijn is now the last sleeper for the Cabinet, Linthorst and Ter Horst make their decision depend on him. That means that one senator has the power to make or break the government.
Last night spoke with Asscher Duivesteijn at his home and did the deputy prime minister his party content to offer an acceptable way out. Reported that coalition sources. Ever-increasing optimism that VVD and PvdA would know to save their government yet again
Niemantsverdriet says.
“The Coalition consults still in the turret, so the conversation is ongoing. Should an agreement be between VVD and PvdA than the three opposition parties must agree to the amended plan “
The second phase has not yet been reached, says Niemantsverdriet:.
“Members of the C3 – D66, Christian Union and SGP – have not yet arrived. At present only coalition members talk to each other in the Turret. “
Prime Minister Rutte not going to the EU summit in Brussels today. He remains in the Hague to work on a solution to the care crisis, according to his spokesperson. The Luxembourg colleague Xavier Bettel will put forward the Dutch positions on behalf of Rutte. Bert Koenders, Minister of Foreign Affairs at talks Bettel.
Opposition wants debate
The opposition in the House will debate the controversy generated after Voting out the regulatory reforms of Minister Edith Schippers (Health VVD) day before yesterday in the Senate. The government parties VVD and PvdA keep that debate still now, because according to them, nothing to report falls on the care crisis.
Who is Adri Duivesteijn?
The political career of Adri Duivesteijn (1950) is littered with conflicts. In the late eighties, he had to resign as alderman in The Hague after a heated dispute over the newly built city hall. In recent years he made as a senator ever noisier his displeasure over the government. He believes that Labour leader Samsom too technocratic operates and the principles of social democracy squanders
Duivesteijn PvdA and the other two are the face become a growing discomfort -. In health, society and the Labour Party – about the growing power of the insurers. That gives Duivesteijn except the numerical need his vote for the survival of the coalition, also moral leeway in talks with the Labour Party summit.
Duivesteijn is a man of principles, and at the same time a lover of refined political game. You never know what you have to Adri, until the last moment, say PvdA. Exactly a year ago, he held the government long in suspense, when he threatened to vote against the living arrangement.
