Prime Minister Mark Rutte in front of the Nieuwspoort journalists

The Nieuwspoort (English: News gate) is a society catering to Dutch politicians, lobbyists and journalists so they can informally meet. [1] It's also a place where press conferences from politicians (most notably the Prime Minister of the Netherlands' weekly address) [2] are held.

History

The press centre was opened in 1962 by Jo Cals. [2] Many notable incidents took place here, including the pieing incident during the book release of Pim Fortuyn's De puinhopen van acht jaar Paars and Ayaan Hirsi Ali's retirement announcement. [2]
