David Wagner is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for déi Lénk in the Circonscription Centre, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n19 December 2023 — proposing a public housing construction company because the private market cannot cope alone
\n\n\nMir si souwisou der Meenung, datt Lëtzebuerg eng ëffentlech Wunnengsbaugesellschaft bräicht, fir och Projete vill méi séier op d’Been ze bréngen, well mer net mengen, datt de private Marché dat eleng ka bewältegen.
\n
We are in any case of the view that Luxembourg needs a public housing construction company, to get projects going much faster, because we do not believe the private market can manage this alone.
\n\n14 May 2024 — predicting that the package will concentrate building land in fewer hands
\n\n\nMir wäerten eng nach méi grouss Konzentratioun vu Bauland hunn, mat deem och nach spekuléiert gëtt.
\n
We will have an even greater concentration of building land, which is also speculated on.
\n\n18 December 2024 — proposing a public construction company and stronger public developers
\n\n\nWat mer brauchen, ass eng massiv Stäerkung vun den ëffentleche Bauträger, mat enger ëffentlecher Baufirma, déi exklusiv fir déi ëffentlech Hand baut.
\n
What we need is a massive strengthening of the public developers, with a public construction firm that builds exclusively for the public sector.
\n\n17 June 2026 — stating a figure on the concentration of building land
\n\n\nWat mer och wëssen, dat ass, datt 0,5 % vun der Bevëlkerung ongeféier d’Hallschent vum Bauland hunn hei zu Lëtzebuerg an drop sëtze bleiwen an och derfir suergen, datt d’Präisser eropginn.
\n
What we also know is that 0.5 % of the population hold about half of the building land here in Luxembourg, sit on it and thereby drive prices up.
\n\n20 December 2023 — stating that a barème reform should come before the inflation adjustment
\n\n\nDat heescht, mir sinn der Meenung, fir d’éischt emol misst de Steierbarème reforméiert ginn an dann hätte mer och un enger gerechter Upassung un d’Inflatioun geschafft.
\n
That means we are of the opinion that the tax barème should first be reformed, and then we would also have worked on a fair adjustment to inflation.
\n\n11 December 2024 — attacking the further tax breaks for employers and top managers
\n\n\nMee op der anerer Säit kritiséiere mer awer ganz schaarf a ganz staark déi weider Steierkaddoe fir d’Patronat a fir d’Toppmanager.
\n
But on the other hand we criticise very sharply and very strongly the further tax gifts to employers and to top managers.
\n\n25 June 2025 — stating his group's objection in principle to conventions that lower taxation
\n\n\nMee mir haten deemools schonn déi Konventioun mat Argentinien net matgestëmmt, well mer prinzipiell Schwieregkeeten hu mat deene Konventiounen, déi awer virgesinn, datt schlussendlech manner besteiert gëtt, dës Kéier d’Zënsen.
\n
But we did not vote for the convention with Argentina back then either, because we have a problem in principle with conventions that provide for less tax being paid in the end, this time on interest.
\n\n17 December 2025 — criticising the tax credit as socialising losses and privatising profits
\n\n\nDat heescht, mir sinn erëm an engem Modell, wou de Verloscht vergesellschaftet gëtt, an de Profitt, dee gëtt privatiséiert.
\n
That means we are again in a model where the loss is socialised and the profit is privatised.
\n\n28 February 2024 — citing figures from the 2022 education report on teachers who say their training did not prepare them for children with special needs
\n\n\n75 % vun den Enseignanten am Fondamental an 81 % vun den Enseignanten am Secondaire hunn uginn, datt hir Ausbildung si net genuch virbereet huet, fir d’Enfants à besoins spécifiques ze encadréieren.
\n
75 % of teachers in primary and 81 % of teachers in secondary education stated that their training did not prepare them enough to support children with special needs.
\n\n4 December 2024 — arguing that regulating phone use in secondary schools is necessary
\n\n\nAus dëse Grënn ass an eisen Aen och eng Reguléierung vum Handygebrauch an de Lycéeë méi wéi néideg.
\n
For these reasons, in our view a regulation of phone use in secondary schools is more than necessary.
\n\n22 January 2026 — stating figures comparing the price paid per are with the local average
\n\n\nWann ee kuckt, läit d’Moyenne vum Ar an der Gemeng Stroosse bei 200.000 Euro. Do si mir op 332.000 Euro den Ar.
\n
If you look, the average per are in the municipality of Strassen is 200,000 euros. Here we are at 332,000 euros per are.
\n\n17 June 2026 — supporting a stronger role for parents in education policy
\n\n\nEch mengen, et ass wichteg, datt d’Eltere vun de Kanner sech kënne kloer engagéieren a matschwätzen och an der Bildungspolitick.
\n
I think it is important that the parents of the children can clearly get involved and have a say in education policy too.
\n\n20 December 2023 — criticising the level of the minimum rate
\n\n\nDann zum Seuil vu 15 %: Deen ass eendeiteg ze niddreg. Dat ass natierlech eng Kompromëssléisung an et ass geckeg, wann ee bedenkt, datt nach virun 30 Joer d’Moyenne bei 40 % louch.
\n
Then on the threshold of 15%: it is plainly too low. That is of course a compromise solution, and it is mad when you consider that 30 years ago the average was 40%.
\n\n11 July 2024 — warning that the whole reform depends on recruiting staff
\n\n\nNatierlech wäert dat Ganzt stoen oder fale mam Rekrutement vun Agenten, Fonctionnairen.
\n
Of course the whole thing will stand or fall with the recruitment of agents and civil servants.
\n\n17 December 2025 — rejecting the case for state funding of the two supervisors
\n\n\nMir gesinn do net esou richteg an, firwat de Staat mat enger Hëllef misst do asprangen.
\n
We do not really see why the state should have to step in there with support.
\n\n30 April 2026 — warning that a crisis like 2008 could happen again with worse effects
\n\n\nEt soll een net dovunner ausgoen, datt dat, wat 2008 geschitt ass, net erëm eng Kéier kéint geschéien, mat nach méi devastateuren Effete fir d’Mënschen.
\n
One should not assume that what happened in 2008 could not happen again, with even more devastating effects for people.
\n\n25 April 2024 — supporting the call on Rwanda to withdraw troops from eastern Congo
\n\n\nAn ech mengen, et ass richteg, de Ruanda derzou opzeruffen, derfir ze suergen, datt – ob regulär oder net regulär – Truppen aus dem Oste vum Kongo zréckgezu ginn.
\n
And I think it is right to call on Rwanda to make sure that troops, whether regular or not, are withdrawn from eastern Congo.
\n\n11 December 2024 — condemning the Georgian authorities' treatment of their population
\n\n\nEt ass wierklech ze condamnéieren, wéi d’Autoritéiten a Georgie mat hirer Bevëlkerung ëmginn.
\n
The way the authorities in Georgia treat their population really is to be condemned.
\n\n25 June 2025 — characterising the current Argentine government
\n\n\nDat heescht, dat sinn awer keng Frënn vun der Demokratie a vun de Mënscherechter.
\n
That means these are no friends of democracy and of human rights.
\n\n20 January 2026 — naming the states he says have breached international law in recent years
\n\n\nAn deene leschte Joren hu verschidde Länner ganz staark verstouss géint den Droit international. Dat ass Russland, et ass de Ruanda, dat sinn d’USA an et ass Israel.
\n
In recent years several countries have gravely breached international law. That is Russia, that is Rwanda, that is the United States and that is Israel.
\n\n14 March 2024 — criticising the absence of binding sectoral climate targets
\n\n\nEt feelt eis awer eng Verbindlechkeet bei de sektorielle Klimaziler, déi d’Regierung och däitlech géif engagéieren.
\n
What we lack is a binding force on the sectoral climate targets, one that would clearly commit the government.
\n\n22 October 2024 — arguing that every measure making photovoltaic installation easier should be kept
\n\n\nAn all Mesür, déi et de Leit méi einfach mécht, Fotovoltaik ze installéieren, an déi si effektiv och dozou encouragéiert, ass an der aktueller Situatioun ze behalen.
\n
And every measure that makes it easier for people to install photovoltaics, and that actually encourages them to do so, must be kept in the current situation.
\n\n23 January 2025 — stating a figure for the temperature rise measured in Luxembourg since 1950
\n\n\nLaut MeteoLux ass d’Hëtzt zu Lëtzebuerg zënter 1950 ëm 1,5 Grad geklomm, wat enorm ass.
\n
According to MeteoLux, heat in Luxembourg has risen by 1.5 degrees since 1950, which is enormous.
\n\n29 October 2025 — demanding that the government raise its climate finance amounts and focus them on adaptation
\n\n\nMir fuerderen dowéinst, dass d’Regierung hir Pläng bei dëser Thematik upasst an d’Montanten drastesch eropsetzt an dobäi de Fokus op d’Adaptatioun leet.
\n
We therefore demand that the government adapts its plans on this subject, raises the amounts drastically and puts the focus on adaptation.
\n\n4 March 2025 — distinguishing support for spending on Ukraine from a wider build-up of national armies
\n\n\nSuen auszeginn, fir der Ukrain ze hëllefen, ass eng Saach – an dozou si mir och bereet –, déi ee matdroe soll, awer net, fir an eng Militariséierungsspiral ze goen, déi national Arméien iwwerméisseg géif opstocken.
\n
Spending money to help Ukraine is one thing, and we are ready for that, something one should support, but not to enter a militarisation spiral that would build up national armies excessively.
\n\n29 October 2025 — criticising American demands for higher European military spending
\n\n\nA wann d’Amerikaner vun eis fuerderen, datt mer eis Steiergelder massiv an d’Militär stiechen, dann huet dat näischt mat der Souveränitéit vun der Ukrain ze dinn, mee den Trump wëllt, datt mer eis Steiergelder an d’amerikanesch Waffenindustrie erapompelen.
\n
And when the Americans demand that we put our tax money massively into the military, that has nothing to do with Ukraine's sovereignty; Trump wants us to pump our tax money into the American arms industry.
\n\n17 December 2025 — criticising the tax-favoured bond as investment in the arms industry
\n\n\nAn elo gëtt deen Emprunt gemaach, deen och nach Steierbegënschtegunge kritt, fir datt d’Leit kënnen an d’Rüstungsindustrie investéieren.
\n
And now this loan is being made, and it even gets tax advantages, so that people can invest in the arms industry.
\n\n10 July 2025 — announcing his group will vote for the bill after abstaining on the 2022 version
\n\n\nMir wäerten dëse Projet och matstëmmen, quitte datt mer eis bei där éischter Versioun 2022 nach enthalen haten deemools.
\n
We will also vote for this bill, even though we abstained on the first version back in 2022.
\n\n29 October 2025 — saying that people do not necessarily want petrol cars and air pollution
\n\n\nMee d’Leit wëllen net onbedéngt Bensinn dramaachen an onbedéngt CO2 an aner Zäregasen erausschéissen an d’Loft verpeschten.
\n
But people do not necessarily want to fill up with petrol and blow out CO2 and other greenhouse gases and pollute the air.
\n\n10 February 2026 — stating a figure for the number of people exposed to aircraft noise
\n\n\nRonn 84.000 Leit sinn dem Kaméidi vum Loftverkéier ausgesat.
\n
About 84,000 people are exposed to air traffic noise.
\n\n25 June 2024 — stating that continued dependence on oil will produce more social conflict and more natural disruption
\n\n\nMir sinn nach ëmmer ofhängeg vum Pëtrol, an déi Ofhängegkeet wäert deemno wéi nach méi sozial Konflikter produzéieren an nach méi natierlechen Duerjerneen.
\n
We are still dependent on oil, and that dependence will, accordingly, produce even more social conflict and even more natural disruption.
\n\n4 December 2024 — presenting his motion to extend the energy price cap by one year
\n\n\nMir sinn der Meenung, datt de Präisdeckel fir d’Energie, deen elo den 31. Dezember soll oflafen, nach ëm ee Joer soll verlängert ginn.
\n
We take the view that the energy price cap, which is due to expire on 31 December, should be extended by another year.
\n\n18 December 2024 — disputing the claim that the energy transition makes energy dearer
\n\n\nEt ass net, well den Invest deier kascht, fir eng Transition énergétique ze maachen, fir méi propper Energien ze hunn, datt duerno d’Energie méi deier gëtt.
\n
It is not because the investment for an energy transition, for cleaner energies, is expensive that energy afterwards becomes more expensive.
\n\n17 March 2026 — stating how few energy communities exist five years after the legislation
\n\n\nObwuel déi heite Gesetzgeebung scho ronn fënnef Joer en place ass, hu mer zu Lëtzebuerg bis haut manner wéi 100 Energiecommunautéiten.
\n
Although this legislation has been in place for about five years, we still have fewer than 100 energy communities in Luxembourg today.
\n\n16 May 2024 — announcing abstention on the two framework agreements and a vote against the free-trade agreement
\n\n\nBon, da wäert ech eeben och zu deenen dräi Accorde schwätzen an och erklären, firwat mir eis bei deenen zwee Accords-cadres wäerten enthalen a beim Accord de libre-échange evidenterweis dergéint wäerte stëmmen.
\n
Well, I will speak on all three agreements and explain why we will abstain on the two framework agreements and obviously vote against the free-trade agreement.
\n\n20 November 2024 — rejecting the EU-Mercosur agreement
\n\n\nDen Accord ass an eisen Aen och eng Katastroph op villen Niveauen, ënner anerem ëmweltpolitesch.
\n
In our view the agreement is a disaster on many levels, among others in environmental terms.
\n\n20 March 2025 — criticising international trade agreements for strengthening multinationals
\n\n\nInternational Handelsofkommessen, wéi zum Beispill den aktuell diskutéierte Mercosur-Accord, hëllefen deene Multinationallen dobäi a verschäerfen de Kontrollverloscht vu klenge Produzenten, Bauerebetriber an der Bevëlkerung als Ganzt.
\n
International trade agreements, such as the Mercosur agreement now under discussion, help those multinationals and worsen the loss of control by small producers, farms and the population as a whole.
\n\n26 June 2025 — calling such trade agreements harmful and announcing a vote against
\n\n\nMee fondamentalement sinn et nach ëmmer relativ nocif Accorden, an dofir wäerte mer dergéint stëmmen.
\n
But fundamentally these are still fairly harmful agreements, and that is why we will vote against.
\n\n1 February 2024 — claiming the big beneficiaries of the proposed rules would be biotech multinationals
\n\n\nGrouss Profiteure vun dëser Reglementatioun wieren, wéi soll et aneschters sinn, grouss Multinationaler an der Biotech wéi Bayer oder DowDuPont, déi zwee Drëttel vun de Brevete kontrolléieren.
\n
The big profiteers of this regulation would be, how could it be otherwise, big biotech multinationals like Bayer or DowDuPont, which control two thirds of the patents.
\n\n20 March 2025 — citing ministry studies on pesticide residues in food produced in Luxembourg
\n\n\nDe Landwirtschaftsministère huet an der Lescht Etüden duerchgefouert, wou erauskomm ass, dass bei 50 % a méi vun de Liewensmëttel, déi zu Lëtzebuerg hiergestallt ginn, Pestizidréckstänn fonnt gi sinn.
\n
The agriculture ministry recently carried out studies which found pesticide residues in 50% or more of the food produced in Luxembourg.
\n\n15 May 2025 — announcing his group's abstention on the bill
\n\n\nAus deem Grond wäerte mer eis och bei dësem Projet de loi enthalen.
\n
For that reason we will abstain on this bill.
\n\n20 March 2025 — citing the Chamber of Employees figures on the extra yearly electricity cost for a household with a heat pump
\n\n\nEn duerchschnëttleche Stot mat enger Wärmepompel muss elo 1.077 Euro méi bezuele fir de Stroum pro Joer, an 1.260 méi, wann en en Elektroauto huet.
\n
An average household with a heat pump now has to pay 1,077 euro more per year for electricity, and 1,260 more if it has an electric car.
\n\n30 April 2025 — arguing that public-sector pay also benefits the private sector
\n\n\nAn ech mengen och, et däerf een net vergiessen, de Privatsecteur, deen huet immens vill drun ze gewannen: Déi, déi schlussendlech hei am Land nach iergendwéi eng Kafkraaft hunn, dat si ganz oft d’Leit aus der Fonction publique.
\n
And I also think you must not forget that the private sector has an enormous amount to gain from it: those who still have some purchasing power in this country are very often the people in the public service.
\n\n14 October 2025 — challenging opponents of a minimum wage rise to live on it while paying rent
\n\n\nDat heescht probéiert eng Kéier emol, zu Lëtzebuerg mat engem Loyer plus mat engem Mindestloun iwwert d’Ronnen ze kommen.
\n
So try once to get by in Luxembourg on a minimum wage while also paying rent.
\n\n20 May 2026 — arguing that a 300 euro minimum wage rise would go into consumption
\n\n\nA wéi ech virdru gesot hunn: Déi 300 Euro méi an der Pai, déi ginn an de Konsum.
\n
And as I said before: those 300 euros more in the pay packet go into consumption.
\n\n24 April 2024 — asking when measures will be taken for low earners rather than for owners
\n\n\nWéini gëtt iergendeng Kéier endlech eppes gemaach fir déi Leit, déi schaffen a wéineg verdéngen, amplaz fir déi Leit, déi besëtzen an ëmmer méi räich ginn?
\n
When will something finally be done for the people who work and earn little, instead of for the people who own and keep getting richer?
\n\n20 March 2025 — stating that energy is a universal right like education and health
\n\n\nAn ech hoffen, datt mer eis eens sinn, datt Energie, Stroum, Gas genausou wéi Bildung, Santé en universellt Recht sinn.
\n
And I hope we agree that energy, electricity and gas, just like education and health, are a universal right.
\n\n14 December 2023 — stating his party's usual scepticism towards tax conventions
\n\n\nMir si gewéinlech relativ skeptesch, wann et ëm fiskal Konventioune geet, well dat oft och dozou benotzt gëtt, fir d’Steierlaascht erofzesetzen.
\n
We are usually rather sceptical when it comes to tax conventions, because they are often used to lower the tax burden.
\n\n23 January 2025 — proposing a reform of labour law so that climate effects such as excessive heat stop certain activities
\n\n\nDofir si mir der Meenung, datt d’Aarbechtsrecht esou reforméiert muss ginn, datt och d’Konsequenze vum Klimawiessel, wéi zum Beispill ze héich Temperaturen, mat a Betruecht solle geholl ginn an datt an deem Fall och gewëssen Aktivitéite musse gestoppt ginn, fir datt d’Gesondheet an d’Sécherheet vun de schaffende Leit kënne geséchert ginn.
\n
That is why we believe labour law must be reformed so that the consequences of climate change, such as excessive temperatures, are taken into account, and that in such cases certain activities must be stopped so that the health and safety of working people can be secured.
\n\n2 May 2024 — criticising the minister for the civil service for treating the dispute as unimportant
\n\n\nAn ech verstinn awer och net, datt bis elo de Minister vun der Fonction publique Teflon spillt a sou mécht, wéi wann dat net esou wichteg wier.
\n
And I also do not understand that so far the minister for the civil service plays Teflon and acts as if this were not so important.
\n\n5 December 2024 — claiming his party was right ten years ago about the appraisal system
\n\n\nZéng Joer drop muss ee feststellen, datt déi Lénk an de Justin Turpel Recht haten.
\n
Ten years on you have to note that déi Lénk and Justin Turpel were right.
\n\n4 December 2025 — asking the government whether it will introduce the right to make a mistake
\n\n\nHär President, meng Fro un d’Regierung ass, ob si bereet ass, och dëse Wee matzegoen an den Droit à l’erreur anzeféieren.
\n
Mr President, my question to the government is whether it is ready to take this path too and introduce the right to make a mistake.
\n\n29 April 2026 — stating support for the bill as a strengthening of the public service
\n\n\nJo, mir ginn och eis Zoustëmmung zu dësem Projet de loi, well mer et och esou gesinn, datt et awer zu enger Stäerkung vun der Fonction publique an deementspriechend och vum Service public féiere kann, datt et och méi séier ka goen, fir an d’Fonctionnaireskarriär ze kommen.
\n
Yes, we also give our approval to this bill, because we see it the same way, that it can lead to a strengthening of the fonction publique and accordingly of the public service, and that access to the civil-servant career can go faster.
\n\n14 May 2024 — arguing that war crimes on all sides must be named as such
\n\n\nEt muss een och vu Crimes de guerre schwätzen, Crimes de guerre op alle Säiten – op alle Säiten!
\n
One must also speak of war crimes, war crimes on all sides - on all sides!
\n\n14 May 2025 — explaining what the motion asks for and on what ground
\n\n\nEt geet jo drëms, sech ze opposéieren op europäeschem Niveau, datt den Accord jo weidergefouert gëtt, opgrond vun der Violatioun vum Artikel 2, vu datt d’Mënscherechter op eng ganz grav Aart a Weis violéiert ginn am Gaza an doriwwer eraus an och an de besatene Gebitter.
\n
It is about opposing at European level the continuation of the agreement, on the ground of the violation of Article 2, since human rights are being violated in a very grave way in Gaza and beyond and also in the occupied territories.
\n\n16 October 2025 — criticising the Trump plan for Gaza as an imperial plan imposed on the Palestinians
\n\n\nEt ass kee Friddensplang, mee en imperiale Plang, deen d’USA an Israel de Palästinenser ënner Droung vu quasi totaler Vernichtung opdrängen.
\n
It is not a peace plan, but an imperial plan that the USA and Israel are forcing on the Palestinians under the threat of near total annihilation.
\n\n3 March 2026 — accusing the United States and Israel of indifference to whether Iran becomes democratic
\n\n\nMir mengen awer, datt et den USA an och der Regierung an den USA an der Regierung an Israel zurzäit relativ egal ass, ob den Iran demokratesch a souverän ka funktionéieren.
\n
We believe that the United States, and the government in the United States and the government in Israel, are at present fairly indifferent to whether Iran can function democratically and as a sovereign state.
\n\n27 February 2024 — criticising the resolution for leaving out the negotiations strand
\n\n\nAn dat ass vläicht och dat, wat eis an dëser Resolutioun feelt. Dat ass och, datt de Volet trotzdeem vun de Verhandlunge misst dra sinn.
\n
And that is perhaps what we miss in this resolution. The negotiations strand should still be in it.
\n\n20 November 2024 — questioning the claim that Ukraine is fighting on Europe's behalf
\n\n\nEch si mer net sécher, ob et richteg ass, den Ukrainer déi Laascht opzebürde mam deementspriechende Bluttzoll, dee si awer bis elo aleng bezuelt hunn an aleng nach musse bezuelen.
\n
I am not sure it is right to place that burden on the Ukrainians, with the corresponding blood price that they alone have paid so far and that they alone still have to pay.
\n\n23 January 2025 — arguing against insisting on NATO membership for Ukraine
\n\n\nMee ech mengen, déi Intransigeance fir ze soen, d’Ukrain misst onbedéngt an d’NATO kommen, ass vläicht net onbedéngt eng gutt Léisung.
\n
But I think the intransigence of saying that Ukraine absolutely must join NATO is perhaps not necessarily a good solution.
\n\n19 March 2026 — backing the motion while warning against double standards in international justice
\n\n\nMir sinn totalement der Meenung, datt déi Krichsverbriechen, déi an der Ukrain stattfonnt hunn a stattfannen a vläicht nach stattfanne wäerten, net däerfen ouni Sanktioun bleiwen.
\n
We fully take the view that the war crimes which took place, are taking place and may still take place in Ukraine must not remain without sanction.
\n\n24 April 2024 — welcoming the absence of savings and rejecting the case for them
\n\n\nBon, dat ass jo och gutt, wann net vill gespuert gëtt, well mir sinn net der Meenung, datt misst gespuert ginn.
\n
Well, it is a good thing that not much is being saved, because we do not believe that saving is what is needed.
\n\n21 November 2024 — criticising the IMF as his reason for refusing the bill
\n\n\nBis elo hu mir eis ëmmer d’Fro gestallt, ob et iwwerhaapt eppes Positives beim FMI gëtt. An d’Äntwert ass evidenterweis Neen.
\n
Until now we have always asked ourselves whether there is anything positive about the IMF at all. And the answer is obviously no.
\n\n20 May 2026 — stating what the 2022 crisis cost the state
\n\n\nDéi lescht Kris, déi vun 2022, huet de Staat iwwer 3 Milliarden Euro kascht.
\n
The last crisis, the one of 2022, cost the state more than three billion euros.
\n\n12 February 2025 — arguing that Rwanda under Paul Kagame can no longer be a partner of Luxembourg cooperation
\n\n\nNo deem, wat dann an de leschte Woche geschitt ass, misste mer eis eigentlech alleguerten eens sinn, datt de Regimm vum Paul Kagame kee Partner méi ka si fir d’Lëtzebuerger Kooperatioun.
\n
After what has happened in recent weeks, we should all agree that Paul Kagame's regime can no longer be a partner for Luxembourg cooperation.
\n\n2 April 2025 — summing up the criticism that the follow-up of the projects the Asian Development Bank finances is not done seriously
\n\n\nDat heescht, d’Kritick ass déi, ze soen, datt de Suivi net seriö gemaach gëtt.
\n
That means the criticism is to say that the follow-up is not done seriously.
\n\n4 March 2026 — criticising the economic chapter of the agreement as harmful to less developed countries
\n\n\nDat ass keng Aart a Weis, fir mat Länner ëmzegoen, déi manner entwéckelt sinn, an dat ass justement, déi Länner ze condamnéieren, an der Ënnerentwécklung ze bleiwen.
\n
That is no way to deal with countries that are less developed, and it is exactly that which condemns those countries to stay in underdevelopment.
\n\n19 March 2026 — attacking the reorientation of cooperation policy that the minister announced the day before
\n\n\nHär President, dat, wat den Här Bettel hei gëschter ugekënnegt huet, ass keng kleng Moderniséierung vun eiser Kooperatiounspolitick, et ass eng brachial Ëmorientéierung an déi falsch Richtung, bei där zentral Prinzippien iwwer Bord geheit ginn.
\n
Mr President, what Mr Bettel announced here yesterday is not a small modernisation of our cooperation policy, it is a brutal reorientation in the wrong direction, in which central principles are thrown overboard.
\n\n25 April 2024 — naming what his group finds missing from the list, while supporting the motion
\n\n\nWat mir awer vläicht prinzipiell vermëssen, dat si gréisser staatlech Investitiounen am Beräich vun der Energietransitioun.
\n
What we perhaps miss on principle are larger state investments in the field of the energy transition.
\n\n21 January 2025 — announcing support for the bill while regretting a missed opportunity
\n\n\nMir wäerten dee Projet de loi matstëmmen, mee awer elo net mat der gréisster Begeeschterung, well trotzdeem huet een den Androck, datt eppes verpasst gouf.
\n
We will vote for this bill, but not with the greatest enthusiasm, because one still has the impression that something was missed.
\n\n7 May 2024 — demanding an unambiguous statement of the government's position on nuclear energy
\n\n\nEis geet et awer drëms, ze wëssen, wou ee mat dëser Regierung drun ass, wat si vun der Atomenergie hält, an dat ouni Ambiguitéiten.
\n
What matters to us is knowing where we stand with this government, what it thinks of nuclear energy, and that without ambiguity.
\n\n11 February 2026 — stating that nuclear power depends on large public investment
\n\n\nAtomenergie ass, wéi dat scho ganz oft gesot gouf, eppes Riseges, wat ouni grouss Investissementer vun der ëffentlecher Hand net ka funktionéieren.
\n
Nuclear energy is, as has been said very often, something huge that cannot work without large investments from the public purse.
\n\n13 June 2024 — judging the bill unambitious
\n\n\nJo, et ass net de grousse Worf, deen heite Projet de loi, dat muss een zouginn.
\n
Yes, this bill is not the great achievement, one has to admit that.
\n\n1 April 2025 — explaining why community media fall outside the press aid criteria
\n\n\nDe Problem ass, datt Gemeinschaftsmeedie meeschtens, och wa se méi Leit hunn, net onbedéngt musse Journalisten hunn, well se net déi selwecht Aarbecht maachen.
\n
The problem is that community media, even when they have more people, mostly do not necessarily have journalists, because they do not do the same work.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nMee wat versteet d’Regierung dann elo ënnert „d’Parlament informéieren“?
\n
But what does the government understand by ‘informing Parliament’?
\n\n\nD’Sammelklo hu mer elo am Beräich vun der Consommatioun, mee d’Sammelklo am Beräich vum Aarbechtsrecht zum Beispill ass eng Urgence hei zu Lëtzebuerg.
\n
We now have collective action in the field of consumption, but collective action in the field of labour law, for example, is urgent here in Luxembourg.
\n\n\nDat heescht, mir wäerten eis bei dësem Projet de loi enthalen.
\n
That means we will abstain on this bill.
\n\n\nLaut der Procureure générale hunn innerhalb vun engem Mount d’Enquêteure vun der Police judiciaire 880 Stonne Policepresenz opweise mussen, fir géint d’Verstéiss vum Stater Reglement virzegoen.
\n
According to the Procureure générale, within one month the judicial police investigators had to provide 880 hours of police presence to act against breaches of the city's regulation.
\n\n\nDovunner ofgesinn ass et och nach bei Wäitem keen Handicap, eng Fra ze sinn!
\n
Apart from that, being a woman is by no means a handicap!
\n\n\nEch fannen dat och relativ grav, datt d’Majoritéit hei en Arrêt als Virwand hëlt, fir hir salariatsfeindlech Politick kënnen duerchzesetzen.
\n
I also find it quite serious that the majority here uses a court ruling as a pretext to push through its anti-employee policy.
