The Binnenhof is a symbol of a society, of a spirit of the times. Splinter Chabot talks about it with architect Pi de Bruijn, who was responsible for the major renovation of the House of Representatives in the 1980s and is now involved in the design of the new public entrance. Political reporter Merel Ek is the first guest to return to the Binnenhof with little nostalgia. According to her, the Binnenhof should have a completely different function. Together with Alexander Pechtold, Splinter Chabot looks back on the formation negotiations of 2017.
