Amsterdam Our Capital? Richard De Mos Submits Initiative Proposal to Make The Hague the Capital - NieuwRechts.nl

The largest party in the city council of The Hague, Hart voor Den Haag, wants the royal city to be officially declared the capital of the Netherlands. According to party leader Richard de Mos, it is incomprehensible that Amsterdam still bears this title, while The Hague has been the administrative heart of the country for centuries.

A historical mistake. That is the decision to designate Amsterdam, not The Hague, as the capital of the Netherlands in 1808, according to Richard de Mos of Hart voor Den Haag. He wants The Hague to conduct a serious, intensive and sustainable lobby to correct 'this blunder'. 'It was a historical mistake for a sea breeze.'
