She is deeply concerned about the failure to find solutions to urgent problems such as nitrogen and high energy prices. \u201cIf you look back to the fall of Rutte-IV, in a moment you had a period of six years in which there was only a cabinet in place and governing for a year and a half.\u201d   <\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Predictable policies needed<img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-91521 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-645x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-200x93.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-323x150.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-400x186.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-600x279.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-645x300.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand-800x372.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutchromaniannetwork.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-Thijssen-Nederland-voor-economische-schade-door-stilstand.jpg 852w\" alt=\"\" width=\"389\" height=\"181\"><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to Thijssen, it is therefore important that a stable cabinet that pursues predictable policies and has an eye for competitiveness and the investment climate now quickly emerge. \u201cI think we can now conclude that that extra-parliamentary experiment was not a success. It led to a much worse governability of our country.\u201d Politicians were too often concerned with the interests of their own constituencies. \u201cWhat the country needs is stable policy: followable and predictable, not that in one night or evening everything changes.
