Dutch government survives Cabinet spat over soccer violence
The Straits Times
|November 17, 2024
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof saved his governing coalition on Nov 15 despite threats of an exodus by Cabinet members over the right-wing government's response to violence against Israeli soccer fans last week.
-
Junior Finance Minister Nora Achahbar unexpectedly quit the Cabinet on Nov 15 to protest against claims by some politicians that Dutch youth of Moroccan descent attacked Israeli fans in Amsterdam around the Nov 7 match between Dutch side Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Her resignation triggered a crisis Cabinet meeting, at which four ministers from her centrist NSC party also threatened to quit.
If they had, the coalition would have lost its majority in Parliament.
