Quick Glance: Geert Wilders lacks coalition support to become Dutch prime minister
  • Geert Wilders, despite his election success, lacks enough coalition support to become the next Dutch prime minister.

  • There is now likely to be a technical Cabinet of experts as Wilders will not lead the government but remain the driving force behind the administration.

  • The exact contours of a new coalition Cabinet are unclear, but negotiator Kim Putters believes the parties are ready to hammer out a deal.

  • The Netherlands could look to Italy as a model for moving past its political stalemate by resorting to a 'technical' government before fresh elections are held.

Waspi women were failed, but getting compensation won’t be easy
Quick Glance: Compensation Demanded for Women Affected by Pension Age Changes - Ombudsman
  • In 1995, a law was passed setting out a timetable to gradually raise the retirement age for women to 65, aligning it with men.

  • The coalition government decided in 2010 to accelerate this timetable, resulting in the new higher retirement age for women being brought forward to 2018.

  • The ombudsman suggests that women in the sample cases should receive compensation ranging from £1,000 to £2,950, but the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) disagrees.

  • Based on the report, the DWP strongly doubts providing a remedy and has asked Parliament to intervene in light of the significant impact of maladministration.

Quick Glance: Portugal: Luis Montenegro Named New Prime Minister
  • Portugal’s president has named Luis Montenegro, head of the centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD), as the country’s new prime minister and invited him to form a minority government.

  • Montenegro, a 51-year-old lawyer and longtime parliamentarian, will succeed the Socialist Party’s Antonio Costa, who held office since 2015 and was forced to resign in November following corruption allegations.

  • The AD alliance campaigned on promises to boost Portugal’s economy by cutting taxes after soaring inflation and living costs hit last year.

  • The Chega party demanded involvement in the government formation, warning of instability if the AD continued to reject a coalition. Montenegro's party, however, plans to govern alone and only make piecemeal deals with other parties.
