Pieter Omtzigt, leader of the NSC party, is expected to return to the Tweede Kamer next Tuesday, following a temporary withdrawal for health reasons. Omtzigt’s absence has resulted in the party losing a seat in votes, while Nicolien van Vroonhoven has stepped in as interim faction leader. His return coincides with a crisis in the coalition government after NSC Secretary Achahbar announced her resignation. Despite concerns over potential further departures, the coalition managed to avert a government collapse. The NSC will hold a party congress on November 23rd to address ongoing issues.
