I had to look it up, but the “dwangwet” is a name the right gave to the “spreidingswet”, a law meant to force municipalities to provide shelter to asylum seekers. It’s far right framing, they wanted to (and succeeded) block this law from passing. Goal of the block is according to them something aking to “muh freedoms”, if you ask me it was meant to force problems with said asylum seekers. These problems didn’t materialize, with the ultimate effect of Geert Wilders’ PVV party leaving the coalition.
This is a very condensed version of two years of political scheming, so there’s a lot more to be said than this.








It’s actually based on the novel by Asimov and Robert Silverberg, which is based on the short story. I don’t remember seeing the movie, definitely read the book and short story.
