DutchNews podcast – The We Demand Absolute Loyalty Edition – Week 25

 

In this week’s podcast we find out where’s the best restaurant to cook up a coalition deal, the unlikely reason a Dutch film crew were kidnapped in Colombia and the even unlikelier plan to protect otters by building road tunnels for them. In the discussion Molly gets in her five cents’ worth about the participation contract which requires new residents to pledge loyalty to Dutch conventions and values. And as a bonus there’s some fake news about the teachers’ strike, which is taking place next Tuesday and not Friday as billed. We’ll blame Alexander Pechtold for that because it seems like the fashionable thing to do.
