Overview
- The government became demissionary after convening its final ministerial meeting roughly 1.5 years after taking office.
- Coalition cohesion collapsed in a rare double fall as PVV exited over asylum policy and, two months later, NSC ministers resigned over the Israel stance.
- Dick Schoof said he had always expected the cabinet to fall at some point and stated he would accept the premiership again if asked.
- Ministers pointed to concrete results including a growing armed forces, a NATO summit hosted in the Netherlands with new international agreements, and record support for Ukraine.
- Several officials called the extraparliamentary model unrepeatable, noting scant mutual trust and a premier often left without sufficient leverage, while agriculture leads highlighted early nitrogen policy shifts and a handover of the portfolio to D66 in the next team.
