The VVD wants today by the Labour Party a possible solution “is found for the surrounding crisis. In addition, the face of Minister Edith Schippers must (Health VVD) must be saved and net remain the same:. Limiting the free choice of doctor
What exactly is that solution is still very unclear. The PvdA involved – Diederik Samson, Hans Spekman, Marleen Barth, Marijke Linthorst (spokesperson for the three dissidents) and State Secretary Martin van Rijn – are all day under consideration at the Ministry of Social Affairs and wanted nothing more to give on a possible solution. Visited in the course of the day are also Minister Asscher, VVD leader Halbe Zijlstra and Minister Edith Schippers.
Bill free choice of doctor stranded in Senate
The discussion will be needed because yesterday afternoon three Labour senators – Adri Duivesteijn Marijke Linthorst and Guusje Ter Horst – voted against restricting the free choice of doctor, allowing the bill is not the Senate. The failure of the bill of Schippers, which fell by 38 votes against and 33 in favor, comes as a surprise. It was one of the pillars of the care agreement earlier this year was closed.
The vote against the three senators shows the leadership crisis that the PvdA for longer finds, write political editor Tom-Jan Meeus afternoon in TVNZ (€):
“Samson has long been struggling to hold its parliamentary party in line. His colleague Barth in the Senate – recently redesignated as party leader in the upcoming Senate elections – there also regularly demonstrate that it lacks the authority to make her directorial ambitions.
Now, yesterday revealed that Asscher and, to a lesser extent, Van Rijn dissident party members could not convince the coalition politics, threatened to collapse the coalition difficult to resolve controversy. “
The current crisis demonstrates the weakness of the coalition from the start, write Meeus:
“The absence of a majority in the Senate Room was collected since last fall with the support of three constructive opposition parties in parliament. Based on the idea that who hold parliamentary parties on their colleagues in the Senate. The irony is that precisely the Labour Party as a coalition party that grip appears not to have. “
Support D66, Christian Union and SGP
In the spring knew Schippers support collect D66, Christian Union and SGP for her bill, which was to ensure that the free choice of doctor is guaranteed for an amendment to Article 13 of the Health Insurance Act. Yesterday it became clear that there was a chance that the plan did not make it possible.
Several Labour senators doubted whether to approve the bill and asked at the last minute explanation about the details. Duivesteijn, Linthorst and Ter Horst nevertheless voted against. NRC editor Enzo Steenbergen mentioned that yesterday brave:
“It is quite brave to rebuke such a decision. Earlier there was some discussion, because the Labour Party was historically always a change in the law. But this plan was part of the care agreement. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that all three senators quit next year as a senator. Therefore felt they might be less tied to the party politics and have made this decision “
