02.09.2025The day NSC threatened to block elections
The Dutch media on September 2nd focused on significant domestic political instability and ongoing legal and security concerns. In a major development, the NSC party board reportedly threatened to block the party's participation in upcoming elections by late morning, signaling deep internal turmoil within the government formation process. This was further underscored by reports that the VVD was actively seeking former Members of Parliament to fill cabinet positions in the evening, highlighting persistent challenges in establishing a new government. Concurrently, recurring explosions in Amsterdam's Plantage Kerklaan prompted the municipality to install cameras, reflecting heightened local security responses. High-profile legal cases also continued, with Jumbo CEO Frits van Eerd sidelined as a shareholder and lawyer Inez Weski again absent from court. Internationally, the narrative of a non-Western bloc challenging global dominance strengthened, as Xi, Putin, and Modi reportedly united in Beijing.
