De toekomst van het politieke midden

As the political landscape continues to polarize, attention is growing for the center – and with it for politicians like Henri Bontenbal. What exactly does he mean by the political center, and which thinkers and values underlie his vision? In this conversation, writer and presenter Ernest van der Kwast and Bontenbal explore the role of Christian democracy in a time of populism and illiberal trends. Themes such as decency, responsibility and community spirit are central. The tensions between ideology, practice and personal conviction are also discussed. An in-depth and topical conversation about politics, principles and the search for connection.
