Minority coalition government to rule Netherlands  - 1

Political party leaders in the Netherlands have reached an agreement to form an unusual minority coalition government, Dutch broadcaster NOS reported on Sunday, citing party officials, Reuters reported.

The centrist pro-European Democrats 66 (D66), which won elections last October, will join forces in a coalition with the conservative Christian Democrats Christian Democratic Appeal (CDU) and the right-wing People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (PPF).

The coalition will have only about 66 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.
