Schoof Cabinet

The Schoof cabinet was the cabinet of the Netherlands from on 2 July 2024 until 23 February 2026. Led by independent politician and civil servant Dick Schoof as prime minister of the Netherlands, the cabinet was formed after the 2023 Dutch general election by the Party for Freedom (PVV), the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), New Social Contract (NSC), and the Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB). It was the first time that the PVV, NSC and BBB have had seats in government. Political analysts concluded that the influence of the Netherlands on EU policy was significantly reduced, when the Schoof cabinet is compared to its predecessor, the Fourth Rutte cabinet.
