The Netherlands cabinet Lubbers-3 (1989-1994) was formed by a coalition of the christian-democrats, CDA and the labour party, PvdA. Goal of the cabinet was to come to social renewing. This was impossible because of the bad shape of the Dutch economy. Huge reductions in government spending were necessary. The reduction of the social care for disabled people led to the huge manifestation against the Dutch government in 1992. Many angry socialists left the labour party. The coalition lost enormously during the elections of 1994.

[edit] Mutations
On 2 January 1993 minister of Foreign Affairs Hans van den Broek resigned to become European Commissioner for External Relations and Enlargement in the third term of the Delors Commission. He was succeeded by professor Pieter Kooijmans, formerly professor International Law and European Law at the university of Leiden.
On 1 June 1993, junior minister of Defence Berend-Jan van Voorst tot Voorst became the new governor of the province Limburg.
On 10 January 1994, minister of Internal Affairs Ien Dales unexpectedly died. She was temporarily succeeded by minister of Justice Ernst Hirsch Ballin until Ed van Thijn, then mayor of Amsterdam, could succeed him on 18 January 1994.
On 26 February 1994, junior minister of Welfare, Health and Culture Hans Simons resigned. He was not succeeded.
On 27 May 1994, minister of Justice Ernst Hirsch Ballin and minister of Internal Affairs Ed van Thijn were forced to resign due to illegal interrogation techniques used by the Dutch police. They were succeeded by their junior ministers Aad Kosto and Dieuwke de Graaff-Nauta, respectively. The portfolio of Kingdom Relations was taken care of by the Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers.
Due to the installment of a new European Parliament, several members resigned their function to become member of this new parliament on 16 July 1994. Because the cabinet was already in "caretaker" mode, their portfolios were assigned to other ministers. The portfolio of minister of Transport and Water Hanja Maij-Weggen was added to the portfolio of the minister of Economic Affairs Coos Andriessen. The portfolio of minister of Welfare, Health and Culture Hedy d'Ancona was added to the portfolio of the minister of Education Jo Ritzen. Junior minister of Foreign Affairs Piet Dankert was not succeeded.
