Dan Hardy is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for ADR in the Circonscription Sud, with a mandate that started on 2024-07-11.
\n19 December 2024 — welcoming the interconnection of the two registers
\n\n\nDatt duerch dëst Gesetz den Handelsregëster mam RBE, dem Registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, interconnectéiert gëtt, stellt ee grousse Virdeel duer a verhënnert dee sougenannten „double Emploi“.
\n
That this law interconnects the trade register with the RBE, the register of beneficial owners, is a great advantage and prevents so-called duplication.
\n\n17 June 2026 — making the bill's success conditional on practice
\n\n\nDéi eigentlech Fro ass awer, wéi sech dës nei Instrumenter an der Praxis bewären. Genee dorunner wäert sech den Erfolleg vun dëse Mesüre moosse loossen.
\n
The real question, though, is how these new instruments prove themselves in practice. That is exactly what the success of these measures will be measured by.
\n\n29 April 2025 — calling for urgent action against the closure of cafés in rural areas
\n\n\nUechtert d’Land a virun allem an de ländleche Regioune muss eiser Meenung no dréngend eppes géint d’Cafésstierwen ënnerholl ginn.
\n
Across the country, and above all in rural regions, something must in our view urgently be done against the death of cafés.
\n\n25 June 2025 — arguing for the VAT cut his motion proposes
\n\n\nDuerch d’Erofsetze vun der TVA-Steier kënnen awer an éischter Linn d’Horeca-Betriber entlaascht ginn, well se esou nees méi eng grouss Marge op hire Produkter hunn an esou besser iwwert d’Ronne kënne kommen.
\n
By lowering the VAT, Horeca businesses can above all be relieved, because they then have a bigger margin on their products again and can make ends meet better.
\n\n10 December 2024 — criticising the courts for handing down small sentences
\n\n\nAllgemeng gi vun de Geriichter relativ kleng Strofe gesprach – eppes, wat eiser Meenung no weider Verbriechen encouragéiert.
\n
In general the courts hand down relatively small sentences, something that in our view encourages further crimes.
\n\n9 July 2025 — supporting the exchange of criminal record data on third-country nationals
\n\n\nFir eis ass kloer: D’Sécherheet vun eise Bierger muss eng Prioritéit sinn. Wann eng Persoun aus engem Drëttstaat an engem EU-Land scho viru Geriicht strofrechtlech verurteelt gouf, da muss déi Informatioun och fir déi aner Memberstaaten accessibel sinn – séier, kloer a sécher.
\n
For us it is clear: the security of our citizens must be a priority. If a person from a third country has already been convicted in court in an EU country, that information must also be accessible for the other member states, quickly, clearly and securely.
\n\n11 February 2026 — stating a condition for protecting witnesses
\n\n\nD’Sécherheet vu Persounen, déi bereet sinn, auszesoen an domat de Rechtsstaat ze ënnerstëtzen a méiglecherweis d’Kriminalitéit ze bekämpfen, muss kënne garantéiert ginn, wann d’Ëmstänn dat wierklech erfuerderen.
\n
The safety of people who are ready to testify and thereby support the rule of law and possibly fight crime must be able to be guaranteed when the circumstances really require it.
\n\n17 June 2026 — stating the procedural ground for rejecting the motion
\n\n\nDe Gesetzesprojet, op deen dës Motioun sech bezitt, ass nach net gestëmmt.
\n
The bill this motion refers to has not been voted yet.
\n\n9 July 2025 — welcoming the bill while regretting that it came late
\n\n\nDofir begréisse mir als ADR dëse Gesetzesprojet, och wa mir eis gewënscht hätten, dass dës wichteg sozial Mesür schonn éischter op den Instanzewee geschéckt gi wär.
\n
That is why we as the ADR welcome this bill, even though we would have wished this important social measure had been sent through the procedure earlier.
\n\n29 April 2026 — stating Luxembourg's share of working poor compared with the euro zone
\n\n\nWat déi sougenannte Working Poor ugeet, si mir mat engem Undeel vu bis zu 15 % vun de schaffende Leit zäitweis Spëtzereider an der Eurozon.
\n
As far as the so-called working poor are concerned, with a share of up to 15% of working people we are at times the front runner in the euro zone.
\n\n3 December 2024 — stating his party's demand on resources for the Ombudsman's office
\n\n\nDofir ass et eis als ADR ganz wichteg, datt mir den Apparat vum Ombudsman esou ekipéieren, datt dësen och an Zukunft eng gutt Aarbecht leeschte kann.
\n
That is why it is very important to us as ADR that we equip the Ombudsman's office so that it can also do good work in the future.
\n\n4 December 2025 — restating his party's demand for simpler administrative procedures
\n\n\nDofir wëll ech dorunner erënneren, datt d’ADR nach ëmmer eng Vereinfachung vun den administrative Prozedure gefuerdert huet.
\n
That is why I want to recall that the ADR has always demanded a simplification of administrative procedures.
\n\n10 October 2024 — stating his party's support for equal rights between woman and man but not for levelling everyone down
\n\n\nMir si fir d’Gläichberechtegung vu Fra a Mann, awer net fir eng Gläichmaacherei, wat leider ëmmer nees vermëscht gëtt.
\n
We are for equal rights of woman and man, but not for levelling everyone down, which unfortunately is confused again and again.
\n\n21 January 2025 — linking the problem to immigration
\n\n\nFir eis huet de Problem awer och kloer mat Immigratioun ze dinn.
\n
For us, the problem also clearly has to do with immigration.
\n\n2 April 2025 — objecting that opening adoption to single persons creates situations with a very high poverty risk
\n\n\nWa mer d’Adoptioun also fir Eenzelpersounen opmaachen, bedeit dat och, datt mir bewosst Situatioune fërderen a schafen, bei deenen den Aarmutsrisiko immens héich ass.
\n
So if we open adoption to single persons, that also means that we deliberately promote and create situations in which the poverty risk is very high.
\n\n25 June 2025 — stating that education about digital risks must start at home
\n\n\nD’Educatioun, och déi sexuell, an d’Opklärung iwwert d’Risiken am digitale Raum musse schonn doheem ufänken.
\n
Education, including sex education, and information about the risks in the digital space must start at home.
\n\n8 July 2025 — criticising the bill for not creating an independent control body
\n\n\nWell awer esou vill Sue vum Steierzueler agesat ginn, hätte mir eis als ADR gewënscht, datt mam neie Gesetz zousätzlech eng onofhängeg Kontrollinstanz geschafe gi wär – wat leider net de Fall ass.
\n
Because so much taxpayers' money is used, we as the ADR would have wished that the new law also created an independent control body - which unfortunately is not the case.
\n\n18 November 2025 — regretting that no independent control body was created alongside the funding
\n\n\nWourop ech schonn a menger Ried dëst Joer zum Filmfonggesetz opmierksam gemaach hat: Mir hätten eis als ADR gewënscht, datt zousätzlech eng onofhängeg Kontrollinstanz geschafe gi wär, well eeben esou vill Sue vum Steierzueler agesat ginn.
\n
What I already drew attention to in my speech this year on the Film Fund law: as the ADR we would have liked an independent control body to be created as well, precisely because so much taxpayers' money is used.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nA wa mer d’Aarmut am Land effikass wëlle bekämpfen, da musse mer endlech méi séier méi bezuelbare Wunnraum zu Lëtzebuerg kréien.
\n
And if we want to fight poverty in the country effectively, then we must at last get more affordable housing in Luxembourg faster.
\n\n\nA genee aus deem Grond enthale mir eis bei dësem Gesetzesprojet. D’Gesondheet vun de Mënschen an de Schutz vun eiser Ëmwelt hu fir eis Prioritéit.
\n
And for exactly that reason we abstain on this bill. The health of people and the protection of our environment have priority for us.
\n\n\nAn deem Kontext wollt ech den Här Wirtschaftsminister froen, wéi Lëtzebuerg am Fall vun esou engem Blackout opgestallt ass a wéi eist Land an esou engem Fall konkreet reagéiere géif.
\n
In that context I wanted to ask the Minister of the Economy how Luxembourg is set up in the case of such a blackout and how our country would react concretely in such a case.
\n\n\nA mir fuerderen als ADR scho jorelaang, datt mir nëmmen esou vill Leit hei am Land ophuelen, wéi mir och mënschewierdeg ënnerbrénge kënnen.
\n
And as the ADR we have been demanding for years that we take in only as many people in this country as we can also house in a dignified way.
