Sigrid Kaag let colleague Arie Slob tell a lie | Columns

The VPRO program Sigrid Kaag from Beirut to Binnenhof has become a beautiful thing. For starters, it’s political ball game. The program was made by the VPRO, which is led by a former D66 campaign manager. In consultation with the public broadcaster (which is led by a D66 member), a time has been chosen shortly before the elections in order to have maximum electoral impact. (“… January 3 will be broadcast on NPO2. That is about the last date that the NPO wants to spend on a film about a candidate politician, before the elections”). The film was co-financed by the Netherlands Film Fund (chairman was Thom de Graaf), and, according to journalist Kim van Keken, received an extra subsidy from Minister Van Engelshoven (D66).
