Dick Schoof’s active political career is short, but intense. He led a quarrelsome cabinet that fell within a year. But who is the man who was the only one of eight candidates to say yes to the premiership? And what drove him?
NRC editors Lamyae Aharouay and Petra de Koning followed him closely. They delved into his past and spoke to people who know him. It led to the book ‘Dick Schoof’, which was presented last Friday. In this episode of Haagse Zaken, Petra and Lamyae talk extensively about their book and what Dick Schoof has meant for Dutch politics.
