The municipality of Weert gets a coalition of Weert Lokaal, VVD and D66. These three parties account for 19 of the 31 seats in the city council.
The coalition is presented in the advice of informateur Hubert Mackus.
CDA in opposition
The former deputy (CDA) has concluded on the basis of talks with all seven parties that this construction can count on the most support. His advice does mean that the CDA in Weert ends up in the opposition and that D66 makes its comeback in the municipal council.
