07.06.2025Day Former Partners Feuded Over Ministerial Spoils
The morning featured analysis of whether Wilders' opponents could prevent him from controlling the election narrative following the cabinet collapse. By early afternoon, the fallen coalition parties had descended into open conflict over ministerial positions, with VVD refusing further negotiations with NSC and BBB. Both VVD and BBB specifically demanded control of the Asylum and Migration ministry, while disputes erupted over replacing PVV ministers.

The collapse's broader implications emerged as newspapers explored why Dick Schoof would likely be the last non-partisan prime minister and how the former top civil servant never gained control of governance. Amsterdam expressed relief over the cabinet's fall while warning of administrative paralysis ahead.

By evening, the Netherlands football team provided a welcome distraction, securing victory over Finland in their World Cup qualification opener. The Trump-Musk feud continued receiving coverage, with Musk deleting his Epstein-related tweet though their friendship remained severed.
