At a press conference, Prime
Minister Mark Rutte asked for forgiveness for the heavy increase in social
payments, resulting from the coalition agreement. He admitted that a mistake
had been made and the issue will be corrected. Diederik Samson, the leader of
Labor, the other coalition partner said that it had been his intention to
reestablish confidence in the political arena. He added that this confidence
had been damaged in the past two weeks. Samson also mentioned that the current
savings program will lead to a savings of 16 billion Euros, but a further 30
billion will be necessary.
