SCP ziet moeilijk na te komen beloftes in coalitieakkoord 23.02.2026

The Social and Cultural Planning Bureau (SCP) has analyzed the coalition agreement of D66, VVD, and CDA, expressing concerns that several significant promises may be difficult to fulfill, potentially eroding public trust in politics. While acknowledging the coalition's ambition to tackle major societal challenges with increased funding for security, housing, economy, and education, the SCP highlights that proposed solutions for healthcare, such as focusing on prevention, offer limited immediate relief for pressing issues like an aging population. Similarly, the goal of reducing asylum seekers through measures like the 'Asielnoodmaatregelenwet' is deemed unrealistic in the short term, and the plan to curb low-paid labor migration lacks clarity. The SCP also warns that measures concerning healthcare, social security, and extended working lives could exacerbate inequality, particularly for those in physically demanding jobs.
