Seven members of the House of Representatives traveled to Copenhagen and Oslo to learn from the experience with minority governments in Denmark and Norway, where trust between politicians and voters is considered crucial for political success. #minderheidskabinet #TweedeKamer #politiek (translated)

Fleur Agema wrote that the health insurance premium would be much higher next year. According to her, both the minority cabinet and the House of Representatives contributed to this by halting legislation for a reduction in the deductible and silently supporting that the deductible was not further lowered to 165 euros per year. She referred to measure 34 from the Coalition Agreement, about which NOS had recently written. Agema described measure 34 as a cut of 3.7 billion euros. According to her, this included the AZWA agreement, which had a structural health investment of 2.3 billion euros: 1.1 billion euros for intensifications in the sectoral frameworks and 0.6 billion euros for two extra years of a zero line in medical-specialist care. If the investments were scrapped while the cuts remained, this would amount to a discount for health insurers that would come back in higher premiums. According to Agema, persistent inflation would also drive up wages and prices. She noted that the one and a half million healthcare professionals also did grocery shopping and wrote that the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport could not rein in inflation. https://t.co/ODN4uoNNJl #Zorgpremie #TweedeKamer #Economie (translated)

The opposition in the House of Representatives, from left to right, is urging more concessions from ministers Hermans and Sterk in exchange for support for the health budget, while the minority cabinet is facing the challenge of a majority shortage. #Volksgezondheid #TweedeKamer #Zorgbeleid (translated)

Harm Beertema criticized the minority cabinet for the emergency package that, according to him, was imposed, including a flashlight and battery-operated radio. He asked what citizens were supposed to listen to on that radio and referred to advice to shelter under the stairs with a can of sardines. He also inquired where Dilan Yeşilgöz and Tom Berendsen, whom he described as sustainability advisor and policy officer, would be during a crisis. According to Beertema, they might possibly be abroad, as he claimed that governments and royal households were accustomed to doing. #politiek #kabinet #noodpakket (translated)

Gerrit Wermink wrote that the plan to use rabbits to free the Port of Rotterdam from the so-called nitrogen lock seemed to him like a particularly bad joke, even after a crate of beer. According to him, the minority cabinet lived in a bizarre bubble. #Rotterdam #politiek #stikstof (translated)

The Senate discussed the limited space for the minority cabinet during the General Political Debates, where the BBB seems to be closing a right turn and a growing collaboration seems to be emerging between the VVD and Pro, despite the challenges surrounding the budget. #EersteKamer #politiek #begroting (translated)

An unusual collaboration is unfolding in the Senate between the PRO and VVD, while Prime Minister Rob Jetten confronts the necessity of political negotiations amidst the challenges his minority cabinet faces in gaining support for the tax plan. #EersteKamer #politiek #cooperatie (translated)

Fleur Agema wrote on Elder's Day that she was ashamed of the way the minority cabinet was handling the elderly, according to her. She stated that there were cuts in nursing homes and domestic help, and that people who needed home care after an operation had to pay a personal contribution. Agema wondered if the elderly were affected because they were not feared or would not come en masse to the Malieveld, and asked if FNV was letting them down. She called on the elderly to take a seat in the public gallery of the House of Representatives from October 12 to 15 during the budget debate of VWS. https://t.co/2IDWoPtP1Q #Ouderenzorg #TweedeKamer #FNV (translated)

Ik kan niet geloven dat het minderheidskabinet-Jetten beweegt op sociale zekerheid en dat in ruil daarvoor PRO de zorg door de pomp trekt net als tijdens Rutte II? 1) PRO gaat dan in 2027 akkoord met een eigen risico dat niet naar 165 maar 400 euro per jaar gaat? (3,7 miljard euro) 2) PRO gaat dan voor de jaren erna akkoord met het niet terugkeren van de verzorgingshuizen waar voor 20.000 hoogbejaarden nut en noodzaak is aangetoond? (0,5 miljard euro) 3) PRO gaat dan akkoord met deel stoppen financiering en sluiting verpleeghuizen? (1 miljard euro) 4) PRO gaat dan akkoord met eigen bijdrage thuiszorg waardoor mensen die dat niet kunnen betalen af gaan zien van noodzakelijke operaties? (0,2 miljard euro) 5) PRO gaat dan akkoord met het afschaffen van de huishoudelijke hulp waar slechts een vangnet voor terugkomt? (0,4 miljard euro) 6) PRO gaat dan akkoord met het afschaffen van de aftrek specifieke zorgkosten voor mensen met een levenslange levensbrede beperking (0,6 miljard euro), waar slechts de helft van het geld terugkomt in de tegemoetkoming zorgkosten chronisch zieken (0,35 miljard euro). 7) etc. 8) etc. 9) etc. Wat doe jij? @Lisawesterveld Wat doe jij? @JulianBushoff Waarom doe jij eigenlijk niks als voorman van de @FNV voor de zorg? @hansspekman https://t.co/PevpivYW08 #SocialeZekerheid #Zorg #Politiek
