The Dutch House of Representatives urges the government not to renew the DigiD contract with Solvinity if it is acquired by Kyndryl.
Solvinity provides the platform on which DigiD, MijnOverheid, and secure communications for Justice and Security run. The CDA spoke of "critical infrastructure for the Netherlands" that must remain in Dutch or European hands. D66 member Sarah El Boujdaini also opposed the sale: "Digital resilience is national security." The concern extends beyond this acquisition alone. Experts had previously demanded transparency about the deal. Municipalities that chose Solvinity because of national control, including Amsterdam, also felt blindsided.
