The minority Jetten I Cabinet enters Budget Day with record low approval and no opposition deal. Health insurance premiums will rise €10/month to €169, while planned welfare cuts are postponed. For expats, this means higher costs but stable benefits for now, amid ongoing political uncertainty.

Public satisfaction with the Jetten I Cabinet has hit a record low of 70% dissatisfied, as the minority coalition failed to secure a pre-Budget Day deal with opposition parties. Leaked documents show health insurance premiums will rise to €169/month in 2027. The government now faces tough negotiations to pass its budget through parliament.
