Yesilgöz has now called that minority cabinet a failed experiment, and at the VVD's insistence the talks cover a different approach to the relations between the coalition parties.
Yesilgöz also made clear that D66 and the CDA are no longer meant to make deals on important issues with Pro and other left-wing parties when they cannot reach agreement with the VVD.
“Stabbing your coalition partner in the back, working with radical left, plunging the country into chaos, chasing entrepreneurs over the edge, driving farmers away, making backroom deals. "Nitpicking" according to DefensieStas. 🤯 #Fatsoen #CDA”
On Friday evening, Jetten announced that the meeting would consist of "fundamental talks" (fundamentele gesprekken). They are aimed at improvements on substance, in politics and on a personal level, he said.
Crisis talks on the future of the Jetten cabinet continued on Saturday at the De Zwaluwenberg estate in Hilversum. Prime minister Jetten of D66, deputy prime minister Yesilgöz, leader of the VVD, and deputy prime minister Van den Brink of the CDA have arrived. The parliamentary party leaders Paternotte (D66), Brekelmans (VVD) and Bontenbal (CDA) are to join them.
