I’m very curious to all non Dutch speakers what they think ‘dwangwet’ means.

It's the only word I don't understand... Here's my guess:

We have a serious problem with the political developments with the "dwangwet" and I hope it can be resolved in the next days.

I'm going to guess it means "Covfefe".

Sorry, you figured out "developments" from "ontwikkelingen"?

They might speak another language where it's a cognate. In German the word for developments is Entwicklungen
