PVV leader Geert Wilders and the VVD Liberals’ Mark Rutte are still in talks with MPs about restarting negotiations on forming a right-wing cabinet with the Christian Democrats.

Sharp divisions have emerged within the CDA about whether or not to form an alliance with Wilders’ anti-Islam party.
According to Trouw, the two party leaders will make their positions known later on Friday.
Some CDA politicians are concerned the party crisis has played into the hands of Wilders.
‘Wilders now has to decide whether or not to pull the plug and gamble on winning more seats in the next election or whether to exercise influence on the new cabinet,’ one CDA MP told Trouw.
VVD dissident
Meanwhile, another promiment VVD member has come out against an alliance with the anti-Islam party. Former junior minister and MEP Gijs de Vries says in the Volkskrant the price the party is paying to have its first prime minister is too high.
The VVD emerged as the biggest party after the June 9 election.
‘Of course one and a half million people voted for the PVV. But eight million people did not. If the parties representing those eight million are not in a position to form a cabinet without Wilders it is a sign of weakness,’ De Vries told the paper.
