09.06.2025Day Yesilgöz Severed Coalition Path
Israeli forces intercepted Greta Thunberg's activist vessel bound for Gaza during the early morning hours, with the Dutch captain sending distress signals before contact was lost. The Foreign Ministry established contact with Israel to provide consular assistance to captain Mark van Rennes, while activists aboard reportedly were forced to view October 7th footage.

VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz delivered the day's decisive political blow in the evening, categorically ruling out future cooperation with Wilders' PVV, calling them "incredibly unreliable" and "cowardly." This marked the formal end of any prospect for reconstructing the collapsed coalition, with Wilders responding angrily to his exclusion.

A major railway strike loomed for the following day, prompting warnings of severe traffic disruption as rental cars flooded the roads. The strike coincided with ongoing tensions at the Dutch-German border, where a minister had called on citizens to cease their unauthorized border controls following confrontations with German police.
