While we prepared this episode of The Hague Affairs for you, we were overtaken by even more political news. After a very long Council of Ministers in which new sanctions against Israel were discussed, Minister of Foreign Affairs Veldkamp announced his departure. The rest of the NSC ministers also decided to step out of the outgoing cabinet. We will certainly talk about that in a coming affairs in The Hague, but not in this episode. Yet we did not want to remember him, because the episode is definitely worth listening.
It was a short summer recess in The Hague. The doors of the room building had not yet been closed or the political news came out again. Election programs were written, lists of candidates and fought for power conflicts, only with a view to the elections of 29 October.
In these Affairs Hague, Wafa Ali and Liam van de Ven are talking about that short summer. We have selected a few essential developments, trends, events for you, so that you are completely back.
