In De Geopolitieke Eindejaarsshow, Laila Frank and Stefan de Vries, hosted by Vincent Rietbergen, take you through the defining events of the year. From geopolitical tensions to Dutch politics, nothing is left untouched.
What does the deteriorating relationship between Europe and the United States mean? What do leaders and systems reveal when pressure is at its peak? And how do we make sense of a year in which crises followed one another at dizzying speed?
Where the news can feel overwhelming, this evening offers both clarity and relief. Through sharp insights, fresh perspectives and humour, the political year is unpacked. Cabaret artist Kiki Schippers brings a musical take on the year, adding her own distinctive and witty voice.
De Geopolitieke Eindejaarsshow highlights what truly mattered in this turbulent year and looks ahead to what might come next.
