King calls for protection of democracy in throne speech
King Willem-Alexander delivered his fourteenth Throne Speech at the Royal Theatre in The Hague, emphasizing that democracy requires continuous maintenance. He described it as a mindset contributing to the common good rather than merely a majority rule. Highlighting community spirit as an antidote to polarization, he urged citizens to support others. This was the first speech for the Jetten cabinet and the fifth held at the venue due to renovations at the Binnenhof.
