The Schoof cabinet is the incoming cabinet of the Netherlands. The cabinet is formed by the right-wing populist Party for Freedom (PVV), the conservative liberal People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the Christian democratic New Social Contract (NSC) and the agrarian Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB) after the election of 2023.

Formation

Under informateurs Elbert Dijkgraaf and Richard van Zwol, the four parties reached the outline of a coalition agreement, titled "Hope, Courage, and Pride", on 16 May 2024.[2] They agreed to form an extra-parliamentary cabinet, which they defined as a cabinet with a greater distance to parliamentary groups in the House of Representatives.[3] Van Zwol was appointed formateur on 22 May. On 11 June, the four parties reached an agreement on the names of candidates and the distribution of ministerial posts. The cabinet consists of 29 members, the same amount as its predecessor, of which 16 ministers. Three new ministerial posts were created, the Minister of Asylum and Migration, the Minister of Climate and Green Growth, and the Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning; and it includes one minister without portfolio, namely the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.[4]

Following the formation, the cabinet is tasked with expanding the outline of the coalition agreement into a governing agreement.[3] The votes of coalition parties were not bound on issues not covered in the agreement, such as pensions, as long as they would not impact the budget.[5]
