Corinne Cahen is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for DP in the Circonscription Centre, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n25 April 2024 — attacking the motion's author over his own travel
\n\n\nAn ech fannen, datt hei ass wierklech ganz bëllege Populismus vun engem, dee permanent an der Weltgeschicht ënnerwee ass hei an der Chamber!
\n
And I find this really very cheap populism from someone here in the Chamber who is permanently travelling the world!
\n\n19 December 2024 — defending the role of the two institutions against the ADR
\n\n\nHei sinn Institutiounen, déi sech fir d’Rechter asetzen an déi sinn och dofir do, fir sech fir d’Rechter anzesetzen, fir déi Dir Iech net asetzt.
\n
Here are institutions that stand up for rights, and they are there precisely to stand up for the rights that you do not stand up for.
\n\n14 May 2025 — asking Keup whether separating children into private and public schools would be better than keeping them all together
\n\n\nEch géing gären den Här Keup froen, ob Dir et da besser fannt, wann d’Kanner doduerch getrennt ginn, well déi eng a Privatschoule ginn an déi aner an déi ëffentlech Schoul, oder ob et besser ass, d’Kanner effektiv alleguer zesummen ze loossen, fir dass se all zesumme kënnen an d’Schoul goen an all zesumme kënne grouss a staark ginn.
\n
I would like to ask Mr Keup whether you find it better if children are separated because some go to private schools and the others to the public school, or whether it is better to keep all the children together so that they can all go to school together and all grow up strong together.
\n\n22 January 2026 — challenging the ADR on whether it would vote for the land purchase at all
\n\n\nDat heescht, meng Fro wär dann: Géingt Der en da matstëmmen, deen Terrain?
\n
So my question would then be: would you vote for it, this piece of land?
\n\n1 February 2024 — reporting the cost of the two extensions and how it is split between state and city
\n\n\nD’Gesamtkäschte vun dësen zwou Extensioune belafe sech op 135 Milliounen Euro. Dovunner iwwerhëlt de Staat der 90 Milliounen an d’Stad Lëtzebuerg iwwerhëlt de Rescht.
\n
The total cost of these two extensions comes to 135 million euros. Of that the state takes 90 million and the City of Luxembourg takes the rest.
\n\n15 May 2024 — stating what the bill changes and by how much
\n\n\nMam Gesetz, dat mer haut stëmmen, soll de Budget vum Amenagement vum Boulevard Raiffeisen an dem Boulevard Kockelscheier, also dem Projet Ban de Gasperich, erhéicht ginn, dëst ëm eng weider 6.550.000 Euro.
\n
With the law we are voting today, the budget for the works on Boulevard Raiffeisen and Boulevard Kockelscheuer, that is the Ban de Gasperich project, is to be raised by a further 6,550,000 euros.
\n\n11 February 2025 — arguing against adopting the motion while the negotiations run
\n\n\nDofir gesinn ech net, firwat mer déi heite Motioun elo sollten unhuelen.
\n
Therefore I do not see why we should adopt this motion now.
\n\n26 June 2025 — explaining that the law is about traffic flows, not about tracking individuals
\n\n\nEt geet drëms, d’Fluxen ze kucken, ze kucken, wéi d’Leit sech am Allgemengen hei am Land deplacéieren, fir et besser kënnen ze maachen.
\n
It is about looking at the flows, at how people in general move around this country, so that we can do it better.
\n\n15 October 2025 — stating the six-month wait before asylum seekers can apply for a work permit
\n\n\nAn an deem Kontext wollt ech dann haut mol iwwert d’Aarbecht schwätze vun den Demandeurs de protection internationale, well déi mussen nach ëmmer sechs Méint waarden, éier se eng AOT – dat ass eng Autorisation d’occupation temporaire – iwwerhaapt emol kënnen ufroen.
\n
In that context I wanted to talk today about the work of applicants for international protection, because they still have to wait six months before they can even apply for an AOT, a temporary work authorisation.
\n\n16 October 2025 — stating the aim of matching firms with applicants for international protection who want to work
\n\n\nAn ech mengen, de But vun ons alleguerten ass natierlech, dass mer beienee fannen an dass och déi Betriber, déi Aarbechtsplazen ze offréieren hunn, bei déi Leit fannen, déi Zäit hunn, fir schaffen ze kommen, a Loscht, nämlech och bei dʼDemandeurs de protection internationale.
\n
And I think the aim of all of us is of course that we come together and that the firms which have jobs to offer find the people who have the time and the wish to come and work, namely also among applicants for international protection.
\n\n7 May 2024 — defining what she means by flexibility of working time
\n\n\nAn dat ass dat, wat mir ënner Flexibilitéit verstinn: d’Demande vum Salarié, fir kënne säi Liewen ze organiséieren.
\n
And that is what we understand by flexibility: the request of the employee, to be able to organise his life.
\n\n21 November 2024 — stating what an employee gets for Sunday work
\n\n\nEt ass esou, dass een, wann ee sonndes schaffe kënnt als Salarié, da méi verdéngt, op d’mannst 70 %, oder duebel fräi huet.
\n
It is the case that when you come to work on a Sunday as an employee, you earn more, at least 70 %, or you get double time off.
\n\n21 January 2025 — announcing her party will vote for the motion
\n\n\nFir d’DP gëllt genau dat selwecht. An dofir wäerte mir déi Motioun och matstëmmen.
\n
For the DP exactly the same applies. And that is why we will also vote for this motion.
\n\n18 December 2025 — stating that her party will vote for the bill as the government proposes it
\n\n\nMee mir als DP sinn der Meenung, dass mer elo mussen zu Pëtte kommen. Dofir wëlle mer dëst Gesetz, wéi d’Regierung et proposéiert, stëmmen.
\n
But we as the DP take the view that we now have to get on with it. That is why we want to vote for this law as the government proposes it.
\n\n25 April 2024 — stating how many projects the year's list contains
\n\n\nEt sinn also 48 Projeten am Ganzen dëst Joer, déi virgesi sinn.
\n
So there are 48 projects in total planned this year.
\n\n25 June 2024 — reporting agreement in her committee to raise the threshold in line with inflation so that the plenary discusses only large projects
\n\n\nA mir waren ons alleguerten eens, mengen ech, dass mer dee Seuil wéilten an d’Luucht setzen, einfach un d’Inflatioun och upassen, fir dass mer hei an der Chamber och just nach am Plenum iwwert déi grouss Infrastrukturprojete schwätzen.
\n
And we all agreed, I think, that we wanted to raise that threshold, simply to adjust it to inflation as well, so that here in the Chamber we only discuss the big infrastructure projects in the plenary.
\n\n3 December 2025 — stating how many projects the committee saw and how many pass the 30 million threshold
\n\n\nMir kruten als Kommissioun am Ganze 40 Projete virgestallt. 18 dovunner wäerten da sécher méi wéi 30 Millioune kaschten, an déi wäert ech dann elo hei presentéieren.
\n
As a committee we were shown 40 projects in all. 18 of them will certainly cost more than 30 million, and those are the ones I will present here now.
\n\n10 February 2026 — the rapporteur stating how far the excavated soil exceeded the estimate
\n\n\nEt goung een dervunner aus, dass 1.200 Tonne Buedem missten oftransportéiert ginn. Mëttlerweil sinn et éischter scho ronn 70.000 Tonne Buedem.
\n
It was assumed that 1,200 tonnes of soil would have to be carted away. By now it is rather about 70,000 tonnes of soil.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nWann Der en Haus oder en Appartement hutt, gitt dat enger Agence immobilière sociale! Op 90 % vun deem Montant, deen Der da kritt als Loyer, braucht Der keng Steieren ze bezuelen.
\n
If you have a house or a flat, give it to a social rental agency! On 90% of the amount you then get as rent you pay no tax.
\n\n\nD’Weiderféierung vun der CO2-Steier ass fir eis als Demokratesch Partei déi eenzeg logesch Konsequenz.
\n
Continuing the CO2 tax is for us as the Democratic Party the only logical consequence.
\n\n\nAn ech mengen, dass dat eng pauschal Ausso ass, well meng Erfarung déi ass, dass awer sech ganz vill Gedanke gemaach gëtt, och iwwert d’Konsistenz iwwregens vum Iessen, wat ganz wichteg ass, mee och iwwer lokal Produiten, regional Produiten, déi do zerwéiert ginn an den Altersheemer.
\n
And I think that is a sweeping statement, because my experience is that a great deal of thought is given, including to the consistency of the food, which is very important, but also to the local and regional produce served in the care homes.
\n\n\nAn dofir géif ech menger Fraktioun proposéieren, déi heite Motioun net unzehuelen.
\n
And therefore I would propose to my group not to adopt this motion.
\n\n\nJust als kleng Info: D’Kommissioun huet decidéiert, dass mer an Zukunft hei op dëser Plaz just nach déi Projete wäerte behandelen, déi iwwer 30 Millioune wäerte kaschten.
\n
Just as a small piece of information: the committee has decided that in future we will deal here only with the projects that will cost more than 30 million.
\n\n\nWell déi final Decisioun, ob ee Kanner kritt oder net, déi läit net beim Staat, déi läit scho bei de Leit selwer.
\n
Because the final decision whether someone has children or not does not lie with the state, it lies with the people themselves.
\n\n\nDofir géing ech de Kolleege proposéieren, déi heite Motioun ze verwerfen.
\n
That is why I would propose to my colleagues that they reject this motion.
\n\n\nHei geet et ëm Gerechtegkeet an dorëms, dass jiddwereen d’selwecht däerf opmaachen am ganze Land, an net an där enger Stad esou an an där anerer Stad esou.
\n
This is about fairness and about everyone being allowed to open the same way across the whole country, and not one way in one town and another way in another town.
