The Dutch political scene is in turmoil due to failed coalition talks and the collapse of the government. Mark Rutte's resignation and the withdrawal of the New Social Contract (NSC) party from coalition discussions have left the Netherlands without a stable government.

The uncertainty surrounding the formation of a new government may delay important policy decisions, affecting international economic relations. Dr. Stan Veuger joins the latest show to talk more.
