Dutch coalition government survives despite minister resignation over Amsterdam violence

Prime minister Dick Schoof said party leaders decided to work together after five-hour crisis meeting

The Dutch prime minister Dick Schoof’s rightwing government averted a crisis on Friday when a junior minister resigned over alleged racist comments by cabinet colleagues, but the coalition government will remain in place.

The deputy finance minister, Nora Achahbar, handed in her resignation late on Friday as the Netherlands grapples with the political fallout of last week’s attacks on Israeli football fans.
