Dutch government talks to resume
8 September 2010 / REUTERS, AMSTERDAM
The three right-leaning Dutch parties that broke off talks to form a new government last week said on Tuesday they were ready to resume the negotiations, after a dissident from one of the parties quit parliament.
Dutch news agency ANP reported the Liberals, Christian Democrats (CDA) and Freedom Party all said they wanted to reopen the talks called off by Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders last week after a split within the CDA. After a heated internal debate, the leader of the CDA dissidents, Ab Klink, said on Monday he was leaving parliament. Klink had tried to stop the CDA concluding a deal with Wilders, whose Freedom Party (PVV) is populist and anti-immigration. Wilders told reporters after a meeting of his parliamentary faction on Tuesday that the decision by Klink to step down had “removed the main obstacle” to resuming the talks. The Netherlands has been without a permanent cabinet since the previous government collapsed on Feb. 20 in a dispute over whether to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
