regarding this, chaotic start to coalition talks
Quote:
*'Rutte is unbelievable'
Caroline van der Plas of BBB calls Rutte "truly totally implausible" as prime minister. "Deliver us from this suffering. The whole country is ashamed to death. You are not fit to be Prime Minister, someone with such a memory cannot lead our country."
*Kaag: pattern of forgetfulness in Rutte
Kaag (D66) thinks there is a pattern of forgetfulness in Rutte. "How can this be, and how are you going to regain confidence as a potentially longest-serving prime minister?" She said she was further shocked by Rutte's comment about Pieter Omtzigt. "This is not good and 'not good' is an understatement."
Kaag stresses that only Rutte has talked about Omtzigt with the scouts. "You also spoke to the NIS on my behalf last week and confirmed that neither of us commented on Pieter Omtzigt. And here our paths separate."
Simons (BIJ1): "The fact that Mr Rutte says that he answered in good conscience worries me. Because what about the honor and such a conscience and this memory? " Rutte says he is accountable and therefore admits that he made a mistake." I find that I had no intention of speaking the truth. It wasn't my intention to lie."
Debate suspended, Rutte may have known what was in pieces before
Klaver (GroenLinks) wants clarification about Rutte's comment that he already had access to the documents at 7.30 pm while the other group chairmen could not see them until ten o'clock. The other group chairmen are also shocked by this comment and also want clarification.
Rutte says he got a call from someone, not his ministry, at around 7:30 this morning that he was the one who dropped the name Omtzigt. He won't reveal his source. The other group chairmen want to know who called.
The debate will be adjourned until this is resolved.
