Dutch coalition party threatens to quit over wealth tax amendment deal
The Dutch People's Party (VVD), led by Deputy Prime Minister Dilan Yesilgoz-Zegerius, threatened to leave Prime Minister Rob Jetten's three-party minority coalition over a wealth tax amendment. The other two coalition parties, D66 and the Christian Democrats, struck a deal with left-wing opposition groups to shift the tax burden from income to wealth. Lawmakers were expected to vote on the amendment on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
