The VVD and BBB are not worried about curtailing press freedom, not even if PVV enters the new Cabinet. "We have enough confidence in the democracy and the rule of law that it doesn't get that far," said BBB MP Henk Vermeer. The VVD noted that it has always been committed to the freedom and safety of the press. "And we will continue to do so, in whichever political constellation we end up in," said VVD MP Claire Martens.

The PVV has little enthusiasm for an overly forgiving approach to fraud. MP Edgar Mulder said in response to the parliamentary inquiry into the derailed fraud policy that he does not want “parliament to immediately have to bake leniency” into legislation. “Because real fraudsters simply need to be tackled.” NSC and VVD are also unwilling to adopt the recommendations outright and have received harsh criticism from other parties for their reluctance.
Outgoing minister Franc Weerwind (legal protection) does not intend to withdraw his bill to expand the Transgender law, which the lower house of Dutch parliament, the Tweede Kamer, has asked him to do. A motion from NSC and SGP requesting the bill be withdrawn was approved by a small majority (73-70). The minister had advised against the request earlier, and he is sticking with that opinion. “I have informed that I cannot or will not carry out this motion,” he said. He also added that he is not planning on resigning.
