- D66 leader Rob Jetten said he sees entry points to collaborate with the House and voiced confidence that broad support can be secured by involving parties early in drafting and budgets.
- BBB ruled out supporting healthcare cuts and reiterated that farm expropriation is a red line, adding that it will judge proposals per dossier but doubts the cabinet can consistently form majorities.
