17.09.2025The day of the General Political Debates
Dutch media on September 17 extensively covered the General Political Debates. In the morning, Geert Wilders opened the session focusing on migration, leading to a clash with Timmermans over responsibility, as opposition parties accused Wilders of abandoning the coalition. A humanitarian debate emerged as Dutch hospitals offered to help seriously ill Gazan children, a proposal the cabinet, and specifically Wilders, opposed, drawing calls for "compassion" from Timmermans.

The early afternoon saw Yesilgöz (VVD) defending VVD's climate course and showing openness to a stricter approach on labor migration, while D66 leader Jetten distanced himself from a center-right coalition. Discussions about Israel's policy also featured. By evening, right-wing frames dominated the debates, and Van der Plas reportedly refused to answer questions about Gaza. Party leaders were observed to be increasingly focused on appealing to voters in what was seen as an early campaign debate.
