Controversies

Shortly after the formation of the Pisas cabinet, Pisas appealed to the governor that the planned 28 April elections should be cancelled.[3][17] Pisas stated that a new majority had been formed in Parliament and that there was thus no need for new elections.[18] a majority in parliament appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to allow the election to be cancelled.[19] The petition to the ECHR was dismissed by the court on 29 March.[20] the ECHR rejected the petition.

A resolution was passed in Parliament on 27 March, calling for the cancelling or postponing of the elections. Governor George-Wout refused to sign the resolution, cited it "seriously impaired legal certainty and good governance".[21] The Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands proposed, by use of an Шаблон:Illm, to task Governor George-Wout with responsibility for holding the elections. Minister of Interior and Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk stated that the "interim cabinet severely damaged the integrity of the electoral process" and asked the Council of State for an urgent advice.[22][23] On 3 April the Council of State gave a positive advice for the proposed measures.[24] The proposed measures were formally taken by the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands the same day.[25] In response to the actions by the Council of Ministers Pisas stated: "the Netherlands is biased" and that the Netherlands was behind the parties opposing his coalition. He regretted the decision by the Council and called it unnecessary.[26]

On 28 April, Pisas submitted the resignation of his cabinet to the Governor.[27] On 29 May the Pisas cabinet was succeeded by that of Eugene Rhuggenaath.[28]
