Summary
Former PM Mark Rutte fiercely defends the pandemic curfew, calling it a necessary evil that saved lives and prevented healthcare collapse, despite public backlash and polls ranking it among the harshest restrictions. He also justifies school closures amid surging variants, clashed with health officials over vaccine mandates, and argues that strict adherence to early guidelines might have avoided extreme measures altogether.
