MPs from the three parties forming a new minority government in the Netherlands have backed the coalition agreement, which outlines the coalition’s plans for the next four years.
The agreement will be presented to the public on Friday but, according to the Telegraaf, is titled Aan de slag, or “get down to work”.
The parties have also agreed to scrap an extra €50 million budget cut for the public broadcasting system, the paper said.
However, the paper points out that because the coalition is 10 seats short of a majority in the lower house and 16 seats short in the senate, the agreement marks the beginning of “continual negotiations” with opposition parties.
Once the agreement has been finalised on Friday morning and presented to the public later in the day, work will start on appointing ministers.
