What are the immediate consequences of the Dutch Senate's decision to postpone the 2025 budget vote?

The Dutch Senate postponed voting on the 2025 budget until next year to allow sufficient time for review and to enable senators to ask ministers written questions. This decision was influenced by last-minute changes to several ministries' budgets, particularly in Health, Welfare, and Sport, and Education, necessitating further scrutiny. The delay also impacts the budgets of at least six other ministries.
