Event Summary

The Netherlands is set to form a rare minority coalition government after leaders of Netherlands — Democrats 66, Netherlands — Christian Democratic Appeal, and Netherlands — People s Party for Freedom and Democracy reached an agreement. Rob Jetten, leader of Netherlands — Democrats 66, will become the youngest prime minister in Dutch history. The coalition will hold 66 out of 150 seats in the lower house, requiring support from opposition parties to pass legislation. The new government's priorities include affordable housing, controlling migration, and investing in defense. This development follows the October election where Netherlands — Democrats 66 narrowly defeated Geert Wilders' far-right Netherlands — Party for Freedom. The Cabinet is expected to be sworn in by the Dutch king by the end of February.
