About an hour ago the king received the PM at Palace Huis ten Bosch. The PM, who rode his bike from The Hague's city center to the palace, went to the king to resign. The cabinet decided to resign (but will continue with a 'demissionair' status until the elections in May) because of what is known as the 'benefits affair' (parents were treated as serious fraudsters after either they made a small mistake or their daycare center duped them). Only one minister - most directly involved in his role in the former coalition - resigned completely.
