Chamber in debate on salary of healthcare workers on Wednesday | Inland

The debate is initiated by GroenLinks party chairman Klaver, who, together with the PvdA, SP and PVV, will ask for the debate. That is why space has been made in the agenda of the House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon for the so-called ‘regulation of activities’. Klaver can request his debate in it.

In order to actually conduct the debate, the coalition parties must also agree to Klaver’s request. That will happen, the coalition says. After this week’s riot, in which coalition MPs hastily fled the House of Representatives to sabotage a vote on higher pay for health workers, blocking a debate on that subject would certainly not be a calling card.

Coalition parties VVD, CDA, D66 and ChristenUnie hurriedly sent the MPs present from the Binnenhof on Wednesday evening. In this way they ensured that less than half of the MPs were still in the building, so that the roll-call vote on his motion requested by Wilders could not go through. The coalition proceeded to this emergency measure because it was considerably outnumbered compared to the opposition and was therefore in danger of losing the vote.

Commotion

The flight behavior of the MPs caused enormous commotion. The opposition lashed out hard at the coalition parties, which themselves also went through the dust a day later. Prime Minister Rutte also had to admit that it was ‘not a pretty picture’. On Wednesday after the debate, the House will vote on Wilders’ proposal.
