This can be seen in a photo of Ollongren who quickly leaves the Binnenhof after her positive corona test result. Clasped under her arm, she has a file with a paper on top on which the ‘points for attention’ for the second round of conversations with Rutte and Kaag can be read. Those conversations are canceled now that Ollongren has corona. It is unclear from which angle the points for attention come.
The scouts have the CDA in mind as a third party, according to the document, but they do have concerns about Omtzigt, the tired Member of Parliament and number 2 of the party. ‘Position Omtzigt, function elsewhere’ is a very striking point of attention. Concerns about the stability of the CDA have been heard at the Binnenhof for some time, also because of Omtzigt’s position.
Ollongren has also been given ‘choice Hoekstra, post cabinet’ and ‘negotiating style Hoekstra’ as points of attention.
In the first round of talks it has apparently also been noticed that GL and PvdA are already carefully separating from each other. ‘Left parties do not really hold each other’, can be read. The support of those parties could just be desperately needed, because there is ‘little real enthusiasm’ for a minority cabinet. A majority in the Senate, which soon requires 5 parties, is, however, ‘a must for no one’.
