The VVD and its party leader, Dilan Yeşilgöz, were heavily criticized in an election debate on RTL Nieuws on Sunday.
Other parties, including the D66, CDA, and GroenLinks-PvdA, accused the VVD of having far-right tendencies, being out of touch with current issues, and having anti-social healthcare plans.
The VVD’s plans are becoming increasingly extreme.
D66 leader Rob Jetten expressed his disappointment, stating that he had hoped Yeşilgöz would "learn her lessons" after the failed collaboration with the PVV.
Jetten criticized these plans, saying they would have a negative impact on the investment climate for entrepreneurs.
