Debate over new coalition: Concerns over inequality, social division

Today, the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament, will debate the new coalition of PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB and their plans for the coming years. Opposition parties are critical of planned cuts and a lack of attention to social inequality in the right-wing parties’ “main lines agreement,” concerns also raised by two of the government’s policy advice bodies.
