Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte speaks with media representatives as he arrives at the Dutch parliament for a session with leaders of CDA, ChristenUnie and D66 Parties about forming a new coalition in The Hague on September 27, 2017 | STR/AFP via Getty Images Dutch parties strike coalition deal: report The official presentation of the deal will be on Tuesday, if it gets approved by the parliamentary parties.

The four Dutch political parties that have been working on a coalition agreement have struck a deal, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in The Hague on Friday.

The plan will be presented to the parties' parliamentary groups on Monday and, if approved, it will be officially presented on Tuesday, according to De Telegraaf newspaper.

"We all go back to our parliamentary groups [now], but I think we have [reached] a nice agreement," Rutte said.

The Netherlands has been without a government since the March 15 parliamentary election, after several attempts to form a Cabinet failed.

If approved, the coalition will consist of Rutte's center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the conservative Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), the liberal D66 and the conservative Christian Union. Rutte will almost certainly remain prime minister.

On Monday, the record for the longest time without a Dutch government will be broken. It will have been 208 days since the election, breaking a record dating back to 1977.

D66 leader Alexander Pechtold said the long formation process was necessary to reach a "sustainable" deal.

Even if a deal is struck next week, it’s likely to take another couple of weeks before a new Cabinet can be sworn in.
