“Teflon” Mark Rutte this volt may not make it: he said too many lies and must face a vote of confidence
Mark Rutte known as “Teflon”, because no scandal scratches him or sticks to him, this time he risks not forming a new government. Even the bales reach a limit and this time he is doing the "Dimenticarello" on the negotiations for the government.
Recall that the premier, however the winner of the last elections with his VVD, was forced to resign in January due to a scandal on family allowances and was in office only for ordinary administration.
The process of forming Rutte's fourth coalition has stalled since the two leaders he was dealing with tested positive for Covid-19. The talks came to a halt and photojournalists filmed one of the two leaders, Kajsa Ollongren of the centrist D66 party, running out of parliament after the coronavirus test result.
Ollongren appeared in the photo holding documents containing notes on the coalition talks.
The documents had a sentence that read “Omtzigt position. Position on other “, in reference to the parliamentarian Peter Omtzigt of the left-wing Christian Democratic Appeal Party (CDA). And here comes the big dance.
Omtzigt had forced Rutte to resign in January in the wake of the previous scandal and Rutte had claimed in recent days that he had not therefore included him in the talks. Too bad that the photos of the D66 Leader say the exact opposite. In short, Rutte, as usual, told a lie to the public.
At this point Rutte rediscovered the Mediterranean tactic of "Going for a fool in order not to pay duty", and stated that, when he held the previous press conference, he did not "remember" the talks with Omtzig and that he replied "In good conscience" .
"I'm not lying. I am telling the truth, ”said Rutte, recalling the motto of liar politicians. He would only remember it on Thursday, after a phone call …
Geert Wilders of the Right Nationalist Freedom Party (PVV) criticized Rutte's leadership and called for a no-confidence motion. "Don't you realize your time is up?" Wilders said. "Look for a job elsewhere."
Sigrid Kaag of the D66 party, who came second behind Rutte's VVD in the March elections, said she saw a "pattern of forgetfulness, amnesia" from Rutte.
"How can you, in the biggest crisis we face in the Netherlands, restore the confidence that has been damaged again?" Kaag affirms, placing himself sideways, at this point, on yet another Rutte government. however, the D66 was certainly an accomplice in Rutte's bales.
Omtzigt and his CDA are very annoyed with Rutte and even they won't give their trust easily. In short, perhaps "Teflon" Rutte found something able to remain attached to it and pull it down.
