The Hague Affairs Live: the Spring Memorandum and a Coalition full of distrust

Listen this time after the outrotune for a while: then you will hear the Q&A that has been recorded with the audience. Were you not there this time? Don’t worry: there will be more recordings of The Hague Affairs that you can be with. Keep an eye on our channels to know when we will be close to you.

While the global economy skimmed along the edge of the abyss, this week it is also about money in The Hague, but then about the Spring Memorandum. The deadline for this update of the budget is approaching quickly. And Coalition parties PVV, NSC, VVD and BBB are not nearly finished negotiating.

In these Affairs in The Hague, included for live audience in the Academy Building of the University of Groningen, we are talking about those negotiations. From Lamyae Aharouay and Pim van den Dool you can hear why there is even a hassle about the amount of money that can be distributed, how the four parties do not succeed in working together and what effect the lack of policy has on the voter’s confidence.
