Martijn Sjoorda on the Netherlands 2025 General Election

Martijn Sjoorda will talk about the recent General Election in the Netherlands

In June the far-right PVV party under Gert Wilders left the ruling coalition, precipitating a General Election in which they lost a significant number of seats, opening the door to a liberal-led coalition.

Martijn was active in his youth in various roles in the Dutch Liberal political youth organisation. Recently, he became active in the VVD again, with the objective of reinventing liberalism for modern times. He was one the iniators of the move towards a new liberal manifesto that looks beyond several election cycles.
