The VVD and BBB are not worried about curtailing press freedom, not even if PVV enters the new Cabinet. "We have enough confidence in the democracy and the rule of law that it doesn't get that far," said BBB MP Henk Vermeer. The VVD noted that it has always been committed to the freedom and safety of the press. "And we will continue to do so, in whichever political constellation we end up in," said VVD MP Claire Martens.

The PVV has little enthusiasm for an overly forgiving approach to fraud. MP Edgar Mulder said in response to the parliamentary inquiry into the derailed fraud policy that he does not want “parliament to immediately have to bake leniency” into legislation. “Because real fraudsters simply need to be tackled.” NSC and VVD are also unwilling to adopt the recommendations outright and have received harsh criticism from other parties for their reluctance.

A majority of Members of Parliament indicated they do no want to move forward with a Cabinet proposal that would allow people to more easily change their gender in the country's official birth records. The motion from NSC and SGP calls on the caretaker Cabinet to withdraw the proposed relaxations to the Transgender Law within four weeks, and passed by a slim margin with 73 voting in favor, and 70 opposed.
