\n29 April 2025 — asking the Minister of Culture why he withholds documents their author agreed to share

\n
Why do you hold back documents that the author is explicitly ready to share for reasons of transparency?
\n\n30 April 2025 — distinguishing the Chamber's right to consult documents from making them public
\n\n\nMir kënnen als Chamber Dokumenter ufroen an Dokumenter consultéieren, ouni dass déi an d’breet Ëffentlechkeet ginn, ouni dass do den Dateschutz domadder a Fro gestallt gëtt.
\n
As a Chamber we can request documents and consult documents without them going out to the wider public, and without data protection being called into question.
\n\n4 December 2024 — stating her party's support in principle for a phone ban in primary schools
\n\n\nÉischte Constat: Mir Gréng ënnerstëtze grondsätzlech en Handyverbuet an der Grondschoul.
\n
First observation: we Greens support in principle a mobile phone ban in primary school.
\n\n1 April 2025 — stating that financial education is a state responsibility
\n\n\nMir Gréng halen och mat Iwwerzeegung doru fest, dass et eng staatlech Verantwortung ass, d’Finanzeducatioun an de Grapp ze huelen.
\n
We Greens also hold firmly, with conviction, that taking financial education in hand is a state responsibility.
\n\n30 April 2026 — stating the speaker's assessment of the two motions
\n\n\nMir hunn hei zwou staark Motiounen, déi do Äntwerte liwweren.
\n
We have here two strong motions that deliver answers.
\n\n17 June 2026 — questioning the planning of primary streams in international secondary schools
\n\n\nEt ass d’Fro, ob et haut wierklech nach eng Necessitéit gëtt, och an der Zukunft Primärschoulsfilièren an den internationale Lycéeën esou an der Planung ze envisagéieren, wéi dat am Moment nach gemaach gëtt.
\n
The question is whether it is still really necessary to plan primary school streams in the international secondary schools in the future, as is still being done at the moment.
\n\n13 November 2024 — describing the problem she asks the health minister to address in the national women's health strategy
\n\n\nLeider ass d’Menopause nach ëmmer op ville Plazen en Tabutheema a gëtt net eescht geholl oder de Lien mat de Wiesseljore gëtt einfach iwwersinn.
\n
Unfortunately the menopause is still a taboo subject in many places and is not taken seriously, or the link with the change of life is simply overlooked.
\n\n23 January 2025 — citing a figure from the Lair report on additional nurses needed
\n\n\nLëtzebuerg brauch laut dem Rapport Lair 3.827 zousätzlech Infirmieren an Infirmièrë bis 2030.
\n
According to the Lair report, Luxembourg needs 3,827 additional nurses by 2030.
\n\n30 October 2025 — demanding a ban on nicotine pouches rather than regulation
\n\n\nMir soe kloer: Dës Produiten hätten net just misse reguléiert ginn, nee, si hätte misse verbuede ginn!
\n
We say clearly: these products should not just have been regulated, no, they should have been banned!
\n\n20 May 2026 — setting out what her motion asks for
\n\n\nEt geet net méi an net manner wéi dodrëm, dass mer eng kohärent Planification nationale hunn iwwer méi Joren, wéi mer effektiv eist medezinnescht Personal kënne besser rekrutéieren, wéi mer Passerelle kënne besser openeen ofstëmmen.
\n
It is about nothing more and nothing less than having coherent national planning over several years, on how we can better recruit our medical staff and better align the bridges between professions.
\n\n24 June 2025 — stating, as the author, that the government has met almost all of the motion's demands
\n\n\nFazit ass, dass mer der Regierung quasi musse felicitéieren, well se effektiv eise Fuerderunge quasi komplett nokomm ass.
\n
The conclusion is that we almost have to congratulate the government, because it has in fact met our demands almost completely.
\n\n4 December 2025 — asking for independent monitoring of exposure and regular updating of limit values
\n\n\nMir wëllen, dass eng onofhängeg Iwwerwaachung vun den Expositioune gemaach gëtt an dass och eng reegelméisseg Aktualiséierung vun de Grenzwäerter op Basis vun der wëssenschaftlecher Entwécklung gemaach gëtt.
\n
We want independent monitoring of exposure to be carried out, and the limit values to be updated regularly on the basis of scientific developments.
\n\n3 March 2026 — listing what her motion demands of the government
\n\n\nDoriwwer eraus fuerdere mer d’Garantie, dass d’Mënschen, Familljen net ouni Wunnperspektiv op d’Strooss gesat ginn, sou wéi dat leider allze oft an deene leschte Méint de Fall war.
\n
Beyond that we demand a guarantee that people and families are not put on the street without a housing prospect, as has unfortunately happened all too often in recent months.
\n\n3 March 2026 — defending her motion's demands as modest and drawn from the government's own programme
\n\n\nSe kommen zum Deel aus dem Regierungsprogramm, se entspriechen dem gesonde Mënscheverstand, mee virun allem entsprieche se engem Grondverständnis vu Mënschewürde a vun Dignitéit vun deene Leit, déi op Lëtzebuerg komm sinn, déi Schutz sichen.
\n
They come in part from the government programme, they correspond to common sense, but above all they correspond to a basic understanding of human dignity for the people who have come to Luxembourg seeking protection.
\n\n5 March 2026 — setting out what her own motion asks for
\n\n\nDat, wat mir an dëser Motioun fuerderen, ass eigentlech net méi an net manner wéi en dignen Accueil, deen engem räiche Land wéi Lëtzebuerg gerecht gëtt, an et eebe grad besser ze maache wéi tëscht 2015 an 2022, fir eis eebe grad elo besser proaktiv opzestellen.
\n
What we ask for in this motion is really nothing more and nothing less than a dignified reception worthy of a rich country like Luxembourg, and to do it better than between 2015 and 2022, so that we set ourselves up proactively now.
\n\n12 December 2024 — demanding that the minimum wage be tied to the reference budget
\n\n\nMir fuerderen, kohärent mat eisem Walprogramm, dass de Mindestloun direkt un de Budget de référence gekoppelt gëtt.
\n
In line with our election programme, we demand that the minimum wage be linked directly to the reference budget.
\n\n19 December 2024 — stating that the Labour Committee will take up the minimum wage in January
\n\n\nMir hunn an der Aarbechtskommissioun d’Theema Mindestloun um Ordre du jour, an zwar direkt elo am Januar.
\n
We have the topic of the minimum wage on the agenda of the Labour Committee, in January already.
\n\n14 October 2025 — stating a figure for full-time workers at risk of poverty
\n\n\nMir schwätze vun 12,2 % vun de Leit, déi voll schaffen an déi ënnert dem Taux de risque de pauvreté leien.
\n
We are talking about 12.2% of the people who work full time and who are below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold.
\n\n29 April 2025 — arguing that the reformed fund faces large challenges in fighting poverty
\n\n\nOfschléissend wëll ech vun dëser Ried profitéieren, fir ze ënnersträichen, dass grad op dës Institutioun an Zukunft ganz grouss Defie wäerten zoukommen, Defien, déi maassgeeblech zur Aarmutsbekämpfung bäidroe mussen.
\n
To close, I want to use this speech to underline that very big challenges are coming for this institution in particular, challenges that must contribute significantly to the fight against poverty.
\n\n10 July 2025 — proposing an inter-ministerial authority for financing and control of the sector
\n\n\nFir eis kéint eng méiglech Pist sinn, hei eng interministeriell Autoritéit ze grënnen, déi fir d’Finanzéierung an d’Kontroll vum Secteur zoustänneg wier, also eng zentral Instanz, déi och reegelméisseg Audite bei de Strukture kéint maachen.
\n
For us one possible track could be to set up an inter-ministerial authority responsible for the financing and the control of the sector, that is a central body that could also audit the structures regularly.
\n\n29 April 2026 — criticising the action plan for not questioning the mechanism that produces poverty
\n\n\nMee dësen Aktiounsplang stellt de Mechanismus, deen Aarmut produzéiert, net a Fro.
\n
But this action plan does not question the mechanism that produces poverty.
\n\n22 October 2024 — stating her party's position that collective bargaining policy is made with the unions
\n\n\nFir eis ass et evident: D’Kollektivvertragspolitick gëtt mat de Gewerkschafte gemaach an d’Roll vun de Gewerkschaften dierf op kee Fall ageschränkt ginn.
\n
For us it is obvious: collective agreement policy is made with the unions, and the role of the unions must on no account be restricted.
\n\n23 January 2025 — proposing a detailed analysis of the Labour Code against climate risks
\n\n\nEt wier sënnvoll, eng detailléiert Analys vum Code du Travail ze maachen an ze kucken, awéifern dësen deen néidege Schutz fir Salariéë virun de Konsequenze vun der Klimakris bitt, wuel wëssend, dass de Code du travail zum groussen Deel haut aus enger Zäit staamt, wou d’Klima nach net esou en Theema war wéi haut.
\n
It would make sense to carry out a detailed analysis of the Labour Code and to look at how far it offers employees the necessary protection against the consequences of the climate crisis, knowing that the Labour Code largely dates from a time when the climate was not yet such an issue.
\n\n14 October 2025 — criticising the liberal-conservative approach to work
\n\n\nD’liberal-konservativ Politick huet d’Aarbecht degradéiert zu engem reng wirtschaftleche Mëttel, amplaz se als gesellschaftlech Relatioun, als Basis vum Zesummenhalt a vun der Integratioun ze verstoen.
\n
Liberal-conservative policy has degraded work to a purely economic means, instead of understanding it as a social relation, as the basis of cohesion and integration.
\n\n21 May 2026 — arguing that the entitlement should not depend on the sector of employment
\n\n\nD’Solidaritéit dierf net dervunner ofhänken, ob een am ëffentlechen oder am private Secteur schafft.
\n
Solidarity must not depend on whether you work in the public or the private sector.
\n\n13 February 2025 — calling for an independent body for state and communal staff
\n\n\nMir sinn der Meenung, dass et grad no de rezenten devoiléierte Virwërf misst eng Prioritéit sinn, eng onofhängeg Instanz ze schafen, déi souwuel fir de Staat wéi fir d’Gemengen an hir Mataarbechterinnen a Mataarbechter do ass.
\n
We believe that, especially after the recent revealed accusations, creating an independent body for the state as well as for the communes and their staff should be a priority.
\n\n30 April 2025 — backing the bill and demanding that harmonisation be extended to the municipal sector
\n\n\nMir stëmmen dëst Gesetz mat, ënnersträichen awer och d’Erwaardung, dass d’Politick an der Harmoniséierung am Gemengesecteur net op hallwer Streck stoe bleift.
\n
We vote for this law, but we also underline the expectation that politics does not stop halfway on harmonisation in the municipal sector.
\n\n18 December 2025 — stating that the online application needs a LuxTrust certificate
\n\n\nEt brauch een nämlech, fir seng Demande op MyGuichet respektiv MyADEM ze maachen, de LuxTrust-Certificat.
\n
To make your application on MyGuichet or MyADEM you need the LuxTrust certificate.
\n\n29 April 2026 — welcoming the earlier access to the civil servants' pension regime
\n\n\nMir begréisse souwuel d’Mesür, dass d’Employéë vum Staat no 12 Joer respektiv ab 55 Joer Zougang zum Pensiounsregimm vun de Fonctionnairë kréien, sou wéi den Här Rapporter dat schonn erkläert huet.
\n
We welcome the measure that state employees get access to the civil servants' pension regime after 12 years or from the age of 55, as the rapporteur has already explained.
\n\n19 November 2025 — telling the minister he must answer rather than dodge the question
\n\n\nEch mengen, Dir sidd hei an der Verantwortung, fir Äntwerten ze liwweren, amplaz weider Froen auszeweichen oder méi verwirrend Äntwerten ze liwweren, wéi bis elo gi sinn.
\n
I think you are responsible here for delivering answers, instead of dodging further questions or delivering more confusing answers than those given so far.
\n\n19 November 2025 — asking the minister whether the Luxembourgish course should be set at a higher level from the start
\n\n\nAss et dann net eng Iddi, fir do de Lëtzebuergeschcours scho vu vireran op méi en héijen Niveau ze setzen, fir dass et fir déi Schoulen an Zukunft méiglech ass?
\n
Is it not an idea to set the Luxembourgish course at a higher level from the start, so that it becomes possible for those schools in future?
\n\n17 June 2026 — welcoming a stronger place for Luxembourgish in international schools
\n\n\nMir sinn awer frou ze gesinn, dass d’Lëtzebuergescht soll gestäerkt ginn an den internationale Schoulen.
\n
We are glad to see that Luxembourgish is to be strengthened in the international schools.
\n\n19 March 2025 — calling for action against the inequalities behind the gender pension gap
\n\n\nWa mer dës Ongerechtegkeeten net just bei all drëtter Chambersdebatt ëmmer erëm wëlle feststellen, jo, da musse mer se aktiv bekämpfen!
\n
If we do not just want to note these injustices again at every third Chamber debate, then we have to fight them actively!
\n\n19 March 2025 — proposing to cut the minimum contribution period and individualise pension rights
\n\n\nEis Propos wier et, dass mer vun zéng op ee Joer erofginn an a Richtung vun enger reeller Individualiséierung ginn, fir d’Rechter op der Persoun an net op der Familljesituatioun ze baséieren.
\n
Our proposal would be to go from ten years down to one and move towards real individualisation, to base the rights on the person and not on the family situation.
\n\n25 June 2025 — announcing support for the motion and for widening the powers of the media regulator ALIA
\n\n\nAn dowéinster kënne mir och dës Motioun ganz kloer ënnerstëtzen, dass do d’ALIA hir Kompetenze soll ausgebaut kréien, dass hir Missioun och an deem Sënn soll erweidert ginn.
\n
That is why we can clearly support this motion, so that ALIA gets its powers extended and its mission widened in that sense.
\n\n5 March 2026 — stating her own reading that fewer births reflect living conditions, not culture
\n\n\nManner Gebuerte sinn also kee kulturelle Problem. Si sinn den Ausdrock vu Liewensrealitéiten.
\n
Fewer births are therefore not a cultural problem. They are the expression of life realities.
\n\n20 March 2025 — stating her party's position that the protection periods are too restrictive compared with other EU countries
\n\n\nMir sinn der Meenung, dass d’Schutzfristen allgemeng wéi och am Verglach mat den EU-Länner, wéi Däitschland oder der Belsch, zum Deel ze restriktiv sinn.
\n
We hold that the protection periods, in general and compared with EU countries such as Germany or Belgium, are in part too restrictive.
\n\n2 April 2025 — welcoming the new cost rule as relief for builders and a signal on preventive archaeology
\n\n\nDëst erliichtert d’Belaaschtung fir Bauhären an ënnersträicht gläichzäiteg d’Bedeitung vun der archeologescher Preventioun.
\n
This eases the burden on builders and at the same time underlines the importance of preventive archaeology.
\n\n30 April 2025 — explaining why she asks for the resignation letter and its annex
\n\n\nDëse Bréif an dat Dokument, wat dozougehéiert, ass nun emol net onwichteg, wann et drëms geet ze verstoen, wou de Problem innerhalb vum Mudam läit.
\n
This letter and the document that goes with it are simply not unimportant if you want to understand where the problem inside Mudam lies.
\n\n18 November 2025 — insisting that the state money must reach the people working on films
\n\n\nMee ech mengen, et ass wichteg, do och nach eng Kéier drop ze insistéieren, dass déi Suen, déi de Staat hei an de Filmsecteur eragëtt, och bei deenen dote Leit ukommen.
\n
But I think it is important to insist once again that the money the state puts into the film sector also reaches those people.
\n\n10 October 2024 — warning the prime minister that a politics of the cold heart and of missing empathy will become the slogan of his time in government
\n\n\nDa wonnert Iech net, wann d’Politick vum kalen Häerz an der mangelnder Empathie lues awer sécher zum Slogan vun Ärer Regierungszäit gëtt.
\n
Then do not be surprised if the politics of the cold heart and of missing empathy slowly but surely becomes the slogan of your time in government.
\n\n30 April 2026 — arguing that the ongoing work and a legal reform are not contradictory
\n\n\nEch gesinn do absolutt kee Widdersproch tëscht deenen Aarbechten, déi säit engem Joer amgaange sinn, an der Fro, ob eng Reform néideg ass.
\n
I see absolutely no contradiction between the work that has been under way for a year and the question of whether a reform is needed.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nDéi äermsten 10 % gi bal 60 % vun hirem Akommes fir fix Käschten aus, virun allem fir de Loyer.
\n
The poorest 10% spend almost 60% of their income on fixed costs, above all on rent.
\n\n\nEng Méiglechkeet kéint also d’Besteierung vun héije Kapitalgewënner oder Finanztransaktioune sinn, fir sou och de Bäitrag vun der Finanzwirtschaft zur sozialer Sécherheet ze garantéieren.
\n
One possibility could therefore be the taxation of high capital gains or of financial transactions, to secure the contribution of the financial economy to social security as well.
\n\n\nHaut hu mer am Bankeland Lëtzebuerg déi traureg Realitéit, dass sëllegen ASBLen a Fondatioune keng Ligne-de-crédite méi opgemaach kréien oder Prête refuséiert kréien, dass also d’Banken, amplaz hir Gestioun kritesch ze kucken an ze hannerfroen, dem Engagement vun Associatiounen am Wee stinn an et weider erschwéieren.
\n
Today in the banking country Luxembourg we have the sad reality that many non-profits and foundations no longer get credit lines opened or have loans refused, so that the banks, instead of looking critically at their own management, stand in the way of associations' commitment and make it harder still.
\n\n\nEng Pensiounsreform dierf keng nei Ongerechtegkeete schafen, net tëscht Al a Jonk, net tëscht Aarm a Räich an net tëscht privaten a staatleche Pensionnairen.
\n
A pension reform must not create new injustices, not between old and young, not between poor and rich, and not between private-sector and public-sector pensioners.
\n\n\nMir hunn d’Presidence vun der Union Benelux souwuel am Comité des ministres wéi och an der parlamentarescher Assemblée.
\n
We hold the presidency of the Benelux Union both in the Committee of Ministers and in the parliamentary assembly.
\n\n\nWou war zumindest de Versuch, Projeten ze retten, Repreneuren ze fannen, vu LuxDev oder aneren ONGen, fir do wierklech dës Projete gegeebenefalls iwwerhuelen ze loossen?
\n
Where was at least the attempt to save projects, to find takers, from LuxDev or other NGOs, to really have these projects taken over where possible?
\n\n\nHär Minister, sinn eis Kläranlagen op dës Polluante virbereet?
\n
Minister, are our waste water treatment plants prepared for these pollutants?
\n\n\nMir kéinten hei déi ganz Debatt hunn op Basis vun aktualiséierte Fakte vun 2019 bis haut, fir kënnen driwwer ze diskutéieren.
\n
We could hold this whole debate on the basis of updated facts from 2019 until today, so that we can discuss it.
\n\n\nDowéinster kann ech nëmmen ënnerstëtzen, dass d’Communitymeedie sollen en eegene Gesetzeskader kréien.
\n
That is why I can only support community media getting their own legal framework.
