After months of negotiations with Rutte's cabinet , in late June the LTO announced that talks on the future of Dutch agriculture had reached an impasse and it was withdrawing . The parties had reached an impasse over how many cows could be raised per hectare and whether emissions regulations should be binding or voluntary.
For weeks, the negotiations had been on the edge of a cliff, but now they had hit the rocks below.
“It does not lead to the restoration of trust between Singapore Email List our industry and the government that we so desperately need,” the LTO president said in a video message to association members.
Reluctantly, Rutte's cabinet said that with or without the support of the LTO, it would draw up and implement its own agricultural reform plan. But the failure of the talks was an ominous sign for the government. A month later, embroiled in a dispute with members of his coalition over asylum policy, the longest-serving prime minister in Dutch history tendered his resignation . (Rutte remains head of the “interim” government until elections scheduled for November.)
Rutte's resignation shocked most political observers. But not the BBB. Since their big victory in March, party officials had been waiting for this moment, predicting the demise of the ruling coalition and telling reporters they hoped parliamentary elections would be held before the end of the year.
Rutte's government drowned in the quicksand of European migration policy, but years of political stalemate over nitrogen had already overwhelmed it. Despite all his belated efforts to address the stikstofcrisis, Rutte's cabinet will now leave office without having made a significant dent.
BBB says it is ready to capitalize on that failure. According to recent polls , the party is currently in a three-way tie for the lead. There is a not-unimaginable future in which within a year, BBB leader Caroline van der Plas will have emerged from complete obscurity to become the next Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
The last four years in the Netherlands have arguably been a warning sign for the global environmental movement. When plans to address biodiversity and climate change – whether through decarbonisation, the expansion of conservation areas or agricultural reform – collide with people's livelihoods and their sense of place in the world, Chaos can and will continue.
