What about education in the countryside?

State politics has perhaps never been more important. The government has made its future largely dependent on ongoing coalition negotiations in the states.

First of all, the decisions taken at the negotiating tables on nitrogen are guiding. CDA leader Hoekstra, who saw his supporters flocking to the BoerBurger Movement during the state elections, was placed by the coalition partners to see what was going on in the states. If the results are ready by summer, the CDA wants to renegotiate parts of the coalition deal.

BBB is known as the big winner of state elections. This party has strong positions on nitrogen, including non-buying of farmers and canceling the 2030 deadline. These are breaking points in negotiations in 12 provinces. Three weeks after the elections, the first formations are starting there slowly but surely.

Recently we looked at what coalitions are possible mainly under the leadership of the Scouts. As the largest party (or ex-aequo with any other party), the BBB has the most significant say in how things will progress. First snack time.

Friesland

In Friesland, the parties are at the cutting edge: the BBB, led by the mayor of Achtkarspelen, formator Oebele Brouwer, will negotiate with the PvdA, CDA and ChristenUnie, which together hold a majority of 25 seats (out of 43).

At first glance, it doesn’t make much sense because the BBB and PvdA have different opinions on the nitrogen problem, at least at the national level. There was a heated debate in the Frisian states on Wednesday, where the PvdA in particular came under fire. Because how much of PvdA’s green ambitions are left in a coalition with the BBB?

PvdA party leader Edou Hamstra rejects the criticism and believes the election result should pay off: with 5 seats, the PvdA is the second largest party in Friesland. He is also in contact with his colleague and BBB party leader Abel Kooistra (both 28 years old), waiting for them to find each other.

Zealand

The startup process also begins in Zeeland. Negotiations begin after Easter. Former mayor Gerard Rabelink can work as a formative to form a BBB coalition with the CDA, VVD and SGP, according to his advice as a scout.

The parties together hold 23 of the 39 seats on the state council. According to the BBB, the planned coalition parties were chosen because of the “numerous interfaces”. The BBB provides two proxies, one for each of the other parties.

Gelderland

Scout Gert Jan van Noort failed to reach a clear conclusion in Gelderland. The BBB recommends creating a “motor block” from VVD and CDA. First they have to sit at a table, then talks will begin with SGP, ChristenUnie, JA21 and PvdA.

Since PvdA does not want to enter the coalition without GroenLinks, this party is also invited to a mid-round. Former minister Ank Bijleveld will preside over these talks in hopes of uncovering a favored coalition.

The BBB has previously advocated a coalition with the VVD, CDA, SGP and JA21 but is now following Scout’s advice. As a result, ChristenUnie, PvdA and GroenLinks advance to the next round.

Flevoland

BBB wants to continue with VVD, ChristenUnie, SGP and PVV in Flevoland. Observers Van Maaren and Sietsema’s recommendation was to bring JA21 as well, but the BBB didn’t like it. At a parliamentary session Wednesday evening, the Scouts were appointed as informants.

They were tasked with mapping the “programmatic differences” between the five sides and examining how to bridge them. Federal party leader Ankie van Tatenhove of ChristenUnie “didn’t find it credible” that his party joined a PVV board.

But the Flevoland faction wants to keep the door open. Group leader Harold Hofstra describes a possible coalition with the PVV as difficult, but does not want to avoid the first meeting.

south holland

At the end of March, scout Fred Teeneven (VVD) advised parties in South Holland to appoint two informants for one of the two most promising coalitions, both holding 30 seats out of 55: BBB-VVD-CDA and JA21, each with GroenLink , PvdA with PVV and SGP.

His advice was to let the informants focus on the first option in the next round. In terms of content and interrelationships, this will offer the best chance for a stable majority. But the party leadership is not yet sure how it will move forward. This hasn’t been talked about for over a week. Maybe internally, but externally, there will be no further announcements.

Utrecht

In the province of Utrecht, scout Danny de Vries (Mayor of Oudewater) submitted his report this afternoon. BBB sees the best chance for a coalition of GroenLinks, VVD and PvdA. Together they hold 23 of the 49 seats. Two more seats, that is, at least one more party, must be added to achieve a majority. De Vries points out that BBB and VVD (linked together) and GroenLinks and PvdA (linked together) both form a side. The desired coalition would then consist of six parties.

North Holland

Researcher Ankie Broekers-Knol (former VVD Minister of State) published his recommendation for the North Netherlands on Wednesday: a coalition of BBB, VVD, GroenLinks and PvdA. The BBB, PvdA and VVD parties still want to start a conversation. GroenLinks will discuss this in the group first. If this is successful, a board of the four largest parties will be formed with a multiple of 30 of the 55 total seats. Without GroenLinks, the other three only have 23.

And the rest…

It is not yet clear which path other federal states will follow. The scouts in Limburg and Drenthe will arrive tomorrow with their advice. Several rounds of interviews took place in Drenthe, chaired by Scout Astrid Nienhuis. She doesn’t want to guess at her advice, but “at least the interviews were enough to get an idea of ​​how everyone was doing,” she says.

A coalition of BBB, VVD and CDA would already have a majority, but BBB boss Gert-Jan Schuinder wants a broader coalition. “While The Hague is contemplating and talking about how things should be done differently, we will show how things can be done differently,” he said in the interpretive debate at the Drenthe Parliament.

A report from the scout in North Brabant is expected on Easter Monday. In Overijssel, where the BBB won at least 17 of the 47 seats, they only started exploring the possibilities last Friday. A second round of talks will be held next weekend. The report of the Two Scouts will be discussed in parliamentary debate on April 19.

It is not yet known in which direction it will go, even from Groningen. Explorer Ard van der Tuuk (Mayor of Westerkwartier PvdA) has been in talks with the parties since the end of March, but what will happen is still unclear. BBB party leader Gouke Moes also did not want to give any direction in the commentary debate at the county council: “No, we are not going left or right. We want to solve people’s real problems. this is what is needed. We don’t want that.” Think in terms of cabinets, boxes or models.”
