New Dutch coalition leaves hot potatoes to Parliament

Investigator Mariëtte Hamer for the Dutch coalition formation needs more time. This implies a new delay in the formation of a new government.

Almost five months after the elections on March 17th, there is no prospect of a new government in the Netherlands. For a couple of weeks, it is utterly silent around the formation. Will the inevitable formation question finally be answered with a pencil, or will it take even longer? A first negotiation attempt should be imminent, but there is no sign of a breakthrough.

The German government that will be sworn in this week chooses against the natural family of father, mother, and child(ren). That is the firm statement made by the editors of the Catholic magazine Die Tagespost.
