King Willem-Alexander has called in politics and society in the throne speech to reach each other’s hand, despite mutual differences. “More and more people seem to be facing each other: online, at universities and in politics.”
“The debate and difference of insight hear in a living democracy,” said the King in the Royal Schouwburg in The Hague. But it happens more and more that it seems to be black and white.

One of the issues that the king mentioned is safety. “We cannot accept that girls and women, or people with a keppeltje or headscarf, do not feel safe.”
