The recently amended “completed life” bill is still facing many objections from the political world, it became clear on Friday during the end-of-life electoral debate in Amsterdam's Pakhuis de Zwijger cultural center. The bill, drafted by D66 MP Anne-Marijke Podt, is intended to allow people aged 75 and over to end their lives with assistance if they consider it complete. The adaptation of the bill lies in the duration and intensity of the path to the end of life, and support from an 'end-of-life counselor' will also become mandatory.
The D66 wants to let asylum seekers start working in the Netherlands sooner and for longer. According to the party, this will help asylum seekers integrate faster and will help fill staff shortages in the Netherlands’ tight labor market. The Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament, will debate this proposal by D66 MP Anne-Marijke Podt on Monday, NOS reports.
