Recent tensions in the Netherlands' minority D66-VVD-CDA cabinet stem from a November 2026 dispute over the 2027 tax plan. D66 and CDA negotiated an amendment with opposition parties PRO and Volt to shift roughly €1 billion in tax burden from income to wealth, including higher levies on assets above certain thresholds, without VVD involvement. The VVD, led by Dilan Yeşilgöz, opposed the measure as violating the coalition agreement and voted against it in parliament, prompting public calls for a fundamental reset or withdrawal. Crisis talks concluded on November 13 with an agreement to continue but no resolution on cooperation rules, leaving relations strained. Traders price a 66.5% chance of breakup by year-end because the coalition's narrow parliamentary base and recurring need for ad-hoc opposition support amplify the risk of formal collapse before December 31.
