She called Dutch pension reforms passed in the previous term disastrous, and she advocated allowing pension fund participants to vote on switching to the new system. However, she did not follow through on legislative action after NSC signed a coalition agreement. It did not cover pensions, but she wanted to give the new cabinet the opportunity to address her objections.[3]
