Ben Polidori is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for LSAP in the Circonscription Nord, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n12 March 2024 — warning that article 5 opens the way to privatising education
\n\n\nMir gesinn an dësem Paragraf, wéi en elo ass, eng Gefor vun enger méiglecher Ouverture fir eng Privatiséierung vun der Educatioun, well mat dësem Artikel, wéi en elo ass, kann eng Persoun aus dem Secteur privé sech och fir dëse Poste vum Direkter mellen.
\n
We see in this paragraph, as it stands, a danger of a possible opening to privatising education, because with this article, as it stands, a person from the private sector can also apply for this post of director.
\n\n10 July 2024 — backing the aim of the bill while calling the way it was carried out a disaster
\n\n\nAlso, d’Zilsetzung vun dësem Projet, wou mer wollten hikommen, ass ganz positiv, mee d’Aart a Weis, wéi dëse Projet ëmgesat ginn ass, ass eng reng Katastroph!
\n
The aim of this bill, where we wanted to get to, is very positive, but the way this bill was carried through is a pure disaster!
\n\n11 February 2025 — stating his party's principle that whatever is possible on paper must be possible online
\n\n\nFir d’LSAP ass awer follgende Prinzipp ganz wichteg: Dat, wat an der analoger Welt méiglech ass, dat soll och an der digitaler Welt méiglech sinn an och ëmgedréint.
\n
For the LSAP the following principle is very important: what is possible in the analogue world should also be possible in the digital world, and the other way round.
\n\n15 May 2025 — arguing that priorities can be set if the government really wants to advance digitalisation
\n\n\nMee wann Der awer wierklech wëllt an der Digitaliséierung no vir kommen, mengen ech, kann een awer Prioritéite setzen.
\n
But if you really want to move forward on digitalisation, I think you can set priorities.
\n\n21 January 2026 — stating the LSAP preference for an EU-wide harmonised rule
\n\n\nEch wëll awer och direkt hei op dëser Plaz soen, dass och mir als LSAP kloer derfir sinn, dass et ideal wier, dass mir eng EU-wäit harmoniséiert Reegelung hätten.
\n
I also want to say right here that we as the LSAP are clearly of the view that an EU-wide harmonised rule would be ideal.
\n\n28 April 2026 — regretting the delay in transposing the directive
\n\n\nMir bedaueren awer, mat wéi vill Retard mir dës Direktiv haut elo ëmsetzen.
\n
We regret, however, the delay with which we are transposing this directive today.
\n\n14 May 2025 — demanding that the government press in Brussels for Mercosur to become a mixed agreement
\n\n\nA mir fuerderen dowéinst, datt d’Lëtzebuerger Regierung sech zu Bréissel derfir asetzt, sou wéi och beim CETA, dass dat zu engem Accord mixte gëtt an et dofir och dann eng Zoustëmmung vun all den nationale Parlamenter brauch.
\n
We therefore demand that the Luxembourg government works in Brussels, as it did with CETA, for this to become a mixed agreement, so that the approval of all national parliaments is needed.
\n\n4 December 2025 — the author setting out the limit he places on EU simplification
\n\n\nAn ech hunn näischt géint Simplifikatioun respektiv ze kucken, wat ee kéint verbesseren, mee awer net op d’Käschte vum Dateschutz, a scho guer net op d’Käschten, wéi gesot, vun de sensibelen Donnéeën a Wäerter, fir déi mer ons elo déi lescht Joren an der Europäescher Unioun staarkgemaach hunn.
\n
I have nothing against simplification, or against looking at what could be improved, but not at the cost of data protection, and certainly not at the cost of the sensitive data and values that we have stood up for in the European Union in recent years.
\n\n21 November 2024 — stating his party's agreement to paying the aids again to pensioned farmers
\n\n\nD’LSAP ass dermat d’accord, fir pensionéierte Baueren a Wënzer déi Hëllefen, déi si fréier kritt hunn, elo nees auszebezuelen.
\n
The LSAP agrees to paying pensioned farmers and winegrowers again the aids that they used to receive.
\n\n4 December 2024 — arguing that supporting the motion costs nothing if the measures already exist
\n\n\nEch mengen, si hunn elo erkläert, dass verschidde Saache schonn haut géife gemaach ginn. An ech denken, wann déi Saachen och sollte schonn en place sinn, da géif et jo och net wéidoen, dës Motioun matzedroen.
\n
I think they have now explained that various things are already being done today. And I think if those things are already in place, then it would do no harm to support this motion.
\n\n5 December 2024 — calling for faster implementation of salary agreements
\n\n\nAn et wär wichteg, dass mir kucken, dass an Zukunft esou Gehälteraccorde méi séier ëmgesat ginn.
\n
And it would be important that we see to it that in future such salary agreements are implemented faster.
\n\n13 February 2025 — calling for an independent body in the civil service
\n\n\nMir bräichten an der Fonction publique dréngend eng fonctionéierend onofhängeg Instanz fir Affer vu Mobbing.
\n
In the civil service we urgently need a working independent body for victims of bullying.
\n\n14 October 2025 — stating what the bill achieves for the civil service
\n\n\nMir schafen domadder och méi eng dynamesch an och méi eng modern Fonction publique.
\n
With this we also create a more dynamic and a more modern civil service.
\n\n29 April 2026 — criticising the absence of a transitional solution for staff already in the procedure
\n\n\nAn op där anerer Säit fannen ech awer schued, dass mer net probéiert hunn, zesummen do awer eng Léisung ze fannen, fir dass och déi Leit, déi haut an deem Fall sinn, awer net mussen do nach weider waarden, well alleguerten déi aner jo automatesch elo an dee Benefiss géife kommen.
\n
On the other hand I find it a pity that we did not try to find a solution together so that the people who are in that situation today do not have to keep waiting, because all the others will now automatically get the benefit.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nD’Wale sollen un den Urnen entscheet ginn an net duerch administrativ Hürden.
\n
Elections should be decided at the ballot box and not by administrative hurdles.
\n\n\nD’LSAP fuerdert, dass deen Deel zum Schutz vum Konsument direkt ëmgesat gëtt!
\n
The LSAP demands that the part protecting the consumer be transposed immediately!
\n\n\nGrad dofir ass et fir eis onverständlech, dass den neie Premier entscheet huet, sech net selwer op der COP fir de Klimaschutz staarkzemaachen a Lëtzebuerg duerch de Grand-Duc an den Ëmweltminister vertriede gelooss huet.
\n
That is exactly why it is incomprehensible to us that the new prime minister decided not to stand up for climate protection at the COP himself and let Luxembourg be represented by the Grand Duke and the environment minister.
\n\n\nFir d’LSAP muss d’Produktioun vu Liewensmëttel op de landwirtschaftleche Flächen absolutt Prioritéit hunn.
\n
For the LSAP, the production of food on agricultural land must have absolute priority.
\n\n\nAn ech mengen, dass mer och bei dëser Punktwäerterhéijung ganz vill Leit hei am Land hunn, déi wäerten dovunner kënne profitéieren, och an Zäiten, wou awer vill Persoune vu steigende Präisser ënner Drock geroden.
\n
And I think that with this rise in the point value we also have very many people in this country who will be able to benefit from it, at a time when many people are under pressure from rising prices.
\n\n\nMir Piraten sinn der Meenung, dass d’Inflatioun nach net genuch ofgeflaacht ass, fir dass et responsabel wier, déi TVA-Reduktioun elo ofzeschafen.
\n
We Piraten are of the opinion that inflation has not yet come down enough for it to be responsible to abolish the VAT reduction now.
\n\n\nSouguer wann een d’Inflatioun do drarechent, gesi mer, dass d’Jugendherberg zu Ettelbréck ronn dräimol esou deier gëtt wéi déi zu Esch.
\n
Even when you factor in inflation, we see that the youth hostel in Ettelbruck is becoming about three times as expensive as the one in Esch.
\n\n\nMir Piraten soe scho säit Joren, dass mir en neit Mediegesetz brauchen, well dat aalt trotz an och wéinst de villen Upassungen der Realitéit net gerecht gëtt.
\n
We Pirates have been saying for years that we need a new media law, because the old one, despite and also because of the many amendments, does not do justice to reality.
