The two people leading negotiations between four political parties to form a coalition government in the Netherlands said they are confident that a Cabinet will be formed before their mid-May deadline. The discussion moderators, Richard van Zwol and Elbert Dijkgraaf, said on Monday that the talks are progressing between the PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB."We are taking the road up to the top," Dijkgraaf said after speaking with three of the four parties. "And we are quietly cycling on."
The Tweede Kamer wants to know as soon as possible whether, and if so, which Dutch politicians have been bribed by Russia. As long as this information is unknown, suspicions will hang over the political parties and the European elections in June, and that is harmful, the parliamentarians agreed in a debate on the Czech Republic's revelation of a Russian disinformation and bribery campaign, NOS reports.
