A potential cabinet collapse in the Netherlands was averted after NSC Secretary Achahbar announced her resignation amid accusations of “racist remarks” following a heated council meeting addressing violence in Amsterdam. Opposition parties expressed concerns over the government’s perceived racism, particularly regarding Achahbar’s position as a politician of Moroccan descent. While coalition leaders, including Prime Minister Schoof, deny any racist comments were made, the controversy brings renewed scrutiny on the cabinet’s integrity. The situation underscores underlying tensions within the ruling coalition, yet they remain committed to governance, dismissing claims of systemic racism.
