In this end-of-year episode of Hague Affairs we take time to look back on 2025. It was the year of not one but two cabinet collapses, the scheduled elections with associated campaign and a NATO summit in The Hague.

And much more happened. Completely according to tradition, the political editorial staff of NRC looks back on the past year during the Christmas recess. In this extra-long episode, the editors talk about the most striking political moments of 2025.
