After it turns out that the Dutch national elections will be a fight between the liberal party VVD and the social democrat party PvdA, the Swiss news program Tagesschau covers ‘Het Lagerhuis’ (House of Commons) a very popular life Dutch debate program where a mix of Dutch citizens discuss actual topics in a similar setting as in the English parliament.
On the day before the elections Liberal leader Mark Rutte and Social Democrat leader Job Cohen are the special guests in the life Dutch debate program. The perfect moment to check out a debate between the two rivals, to interview both politicians and to ask the other debaters and people from the audience about their opinion.
For this news reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up, planning, accompanied the filming, organised footage of the debate program and did translations.
