In a political twist few saw coming, Rob Jetten's D66 (Democratics 66) has defeated Geert Wilders’ PVV (Party for Freedom), marking a new chapter for Dutch and European politics.

In this week's episode, host Alex Wolfe is joined by Adriaan Andringa, VP of Business Development at GetFocus, to examine how Jetten led D66 to victory, what it means for the Netherlands’ energy and climate policies and how this centrist success challenges the rise of right-wing populism across Europe.

Adriaan Andringa is VP Business Development for AI Tech forecasting startup GetFocus in the Netherlands. He worked as a lobbyist for the Dutch technological industry for many years, after having worked for political party D66 as political advisor, press secretary and national campaign manager. He was elected to city council as party leader twice and joined the Obama campaign in New Hampshire in 2016. He's also a published author and political commentator, analysing politics in the US, the Netherlands and increasingly Germany where he now lives.
