In the Netherlands, leaders from different political parties have decided to work together to form a minority government.
This means they won't have a majority of seats in parliament, but they will still try to govern the country.
The parties involved are D66, which is centrist and pro-EU, the conservative Christian Democrats, and the right-wing VVD.
They have 66 seats out of 150 in the lower house of parliament.
