D66

D66 is a liberal-progressive, pro-European political party in the Netherlands. Recent news focuses on its leader, Rob Jetten, who, at 38, is poised to become the country's youngest-ever prime minister. D66 achieved an unexpected election victory in October, narrowly defeating the far-right Freedom Party (PVV). This victory is particularly noteworthy as it positions a centrist party to lead the government. Currently, D66 is forming a rare minority coalition government with the conservative Christian Democrats and another party. This coalition deal comes after three months of negotiations following the election. D66's success and Jetten's leadership represent a significant shift in Dutch politics, and the stability and effectiveness of this new minority government will be closely watched.
