Recent unrest at asylum reception centres, including in Loosdrecht, is primarily being viewed by the government as a public order issue, with municipalities expected to receive maximum support to help maintain calm. At the same time, the cabinet has no intention of abandoning the 'Spreidingswet' (Distribution Act), despite growing social resistance and political division.
