Amsterdam
Jonny Dymond hosts a panel discussion on the challenges facing the Netherlands
麻豆社 World Questions is in Amsterdam in the aftermath of a fiercely fought election.
Immigration, national identity and the role of the EU continue to divide Dutch society. The ruling party held back a surge of support for what they called the 鈥渨rong kind of populism鈥 and a wave of small parties did well in the election, but immigration and assimilation are still matters of great debate. Jonny Dymond and a panel of leading politicians and thinkers debate questions raised by a politically engaged audience.
The panel includes: Han Ten Broeke, Member of Parliament, People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and spokesman on Foreign Affairs, Annabel Nanninga, journalist and commentator, Sylvana Simons, television presenter and founder of political party Artikel 1 and Petra Stienen, author, Arabist and Senator for Democrats 66 (D66).
麻豆社 World Questions is a series of international events created in partnership with the British Council.
