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 plan to raise the carbon levy for large polluting companies is unwise and could scare companies from investing in sustainability. Carolien Gehrels leads a committee advising politicians on how to approach tailor-made agreements."I worry about that. This is not the time. It does not help and will scare away companies," she told MPs in the lower house of Dutch parliament, the Tweede Kamer, on Wednesday. She said she sees a risk of companies choosing to invest their money in other countries as a result.
