Dutch Deputy Finance Minister Resigns Amid Coalition Crisis

Armenian Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures Gnel Sanosyan has resigned, thanking the Prime Minister and colleagues for their support during his challenging three-year tenure. This resignation comes amid a wave of dismissals requested by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who has criticized the country's judicial and law-enforcement bodies. Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, Deputy Finance Minister Nora Achahbar resigned after facing backlash over comments linking Moroccan youth to violence against Israeli fans. Her departure led to urgent discussions among the ruling coalition, which consists of four parties led by Geert Wilders's right-wing Party for Freedom. Prime Minister Dick Schoof emphasized the need for unity and denied any racism in the government's conduct, while Achahbar's resignation highlighted the increasing polarization in Dutch society regarding immigration issues. Opposition leaders have condemned the government's rhetoric, suggesting it exacerbates societal divisions.
