VVD leader Yesilgöz called on left-wing political factions and labor unions to stop obstructing the economy during a recent party congress, according to local media reports. Yesilgöz explicitly rejected demands for higher taxation and signaled a return to a confrontational political strategy against left-wing opponents to prioritize economic growth.
Opposition to Tax Increases and Labor Unions

Internal Party Confidence and Political Strategy
The VVD is currently experiencing a surge in internal confidence, according to reports. This shift has manifested in a return to a traditional adversarial approach toward left-wing politics. While some reports focus on the specific policy disagreements, other local outlets characterize this shift as a return to “old-fashioned” political aggression against the left.
