2006 Dutch cabinet formation

Because the cabinet consisted of virtually the same ministers as the previous cabinet, there was no traditional bordes scene. Instead, this photo opportunity was offered at the start of the first Council of Ministers on 7 July.[1]

After the fall of the second Balkenende cabinet on 30 June 2006, a cabinet formation took place in Netherlands. On 7 July, this resulted in the third Balkenende cabinet. The minority cabinet was formed by Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) and People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). It was a rump cabinet of the third Balkenende cabinet, but without ministers from Democrats 66 (D66).
