To press-gang - Tradução em português

In his blog, Moore comments: "There is a key difference which ministers have not spotted. When Mrs Thatcher piled up the coal at power stations until the strike began in 1984, she was not inconveniencing the public.
"In 2012, the coalition is trying to press-gang the public, without saying so, into its political battles. All those people queuing on the petrol forecourts were pawns in a government-organised blame-game."
