Traditionally, the political editorial staff of NRC looks back on the past year at Christmas. In this extra-long episode you will hear from sixteen editors what stood out to them in 2023. Everyone was asked the same question: what do you remember most about this year? Sometimes it is a specific moment, sometimes it is something that they find typical of this year or that symbolizes a longer development.
Of course you hear a lot about this year’s elections and how they are still reverberating in The Hague. About emotions in the House of Representatives, angry civil servants and politicians who take a step back. About faltering climate policy, negotiating the rule of law and much more.
