Liz Braz is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for LSAP in the Circonscription Sud, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n14 November 2024 — asking that defence money be invested as intelligently as possible so that civil society also benefits
\n\n\nWa mir nämlech schonn esou vill Suen alljoers an d’Defense investéieren – wat mir och als LSAP absolut agesinn –, da solle mer awer kucken, dass déi Sue méiglechst intelligent investéiert ginn, dass d’Zivillgesellschaft eventuell och eppes vun dësen Investissementer huet.
\n
If we are already investing so much money in defence every year - which we as the LSAP fully accept - then we should make sure that this money is invested as intelligently as possible, so that civil society also gets something out of these investments.
\n\n22 January 2025 — opening the topical hour with her party's opposition to conscription
\n\n\nMir als LSAP waren a sinn och weiderhi géint eng Aféierung vum obligatoresche Militärdéngscht. En obligatoresche Militärdéngscht, dat ass eng massiv Aschränkung vun de Grondrechter.
\n
We in the LSAP were and remain against introducing compulsory military service. Compulsory military service is a massive restriction of fundamental rights.
\n\n15 May 2025 — concluding from the EU spending figures that Europe must spend better before it spends more
\n\n\nMir mussen als Éischt besser ausginn, iert mer méi ausginn.
\n
We must first spend better before we spend more.
\n\n9 July 2025 — calling for the national interest to be defined first and backing a fair, realistic effort
\n\n\nAmplaz musse mir eisen nationalen Interessi mol kloer formuléieren: Jo zu engem fairen, realisteschen Effort, well mir eis nach ëmmer als treie Partner vun der NATO gesinn, mee mat Verantwortung a Kohärenz géintiwwer eisen eegene Bierger.
\n
Instead we must first formulate our national interest clearly: yes to a fair, realistic effort, because we still see ourselves as a loyal partner of NATO, but with responsibility and coherence towards our own citizens.
\n\n22 January 2025 — stating the standard by which the speaker judges the government's refugee policy
\n\n\nMir sinn op alle Fall der Meenung, dass een de Wäert vun enger Gesellschaft dorunner erkennt, wéi se mat hire Schwächsten ëmgeet.
\n
In any case we hold that you recognise the value of a society by how it treats its weakest.
\n\n16 October 2025 — calling the cut from six to four months largely cosmetic
\n\n\nWann een dat elo vu sechs op véier Méint erofsetzt, mengen ech, ass dat éischter kosmeetesch a mécht herno kee Risenënnerscheed.
\n
If you now cut that from six to four months, I think that is rather cosmetic and makes no huge difference afterwards.
\n\n2 May 2024 — accusing the CSV of changing sides and stating that her own group keeps last year's position
\n\n\nMir kéinten eis et jo elo einfach maachen an et esou maache wéi d’CSV an d’Ufer wiesselen, fir der Gewerkschaft ze gefalen an eng dreiwend Oppositiounspolitick ze maachen, mee mir bleiwen eiser Argumentatioun trei, déi mir och scho lescht Joer hei verteidegt hunn.
\n
We could make it easy for ourselves now and do as the CSV does, switch sides to please the union and make opportunistic opposition politics, but we stay true to our argument, which we already defended here last year.
\n\n11 July 2024 — asking why the responsible minister is absent from his own bill
\n\n\nEch froe mech just, wou de Minister ass, wann et ëm säi Projet geet.
\n
I just wonder where the minister is when it is about his own bill.
\n\n4 December 2025 — calling for the institution to be made better known
\n\n\nDen Ombudsman ass eng enorm wichteg Institutioun a si misst nach vill méi bekannt gemaach ginn.
\n
The Ombudsman is an enormously important institution and it should be made much better known.
\n\n15 May 2025 — rejecting the redirection of cohesion money to the arms industry
\n\n\nD’Mëttel, déi eigentlech fir Energieeffizienz, fir sozial Kohäsioun oder benodeelegt Gruppen um Aarbechtsmarché sollen agesat ginn, dierfen elo net ëmgeleet ginn, fir an d’Rüstungsindustrie ze investéieren.
\n
The funds that are meant for energy efficiency, for social cohesion or for disadvantaged groups on the labour market must not now be redirected to invest in the arms industry.
\n\n9 July 2025 — stating what 5 % of gross national income costs per year and its share of the state budget
\n\n\nWann ee vun de leschten Zuelen ausgeet, sinn dat graff gerechent 3 Milliarden Euro pro Joer, déi am Staatsbudget fir d’Defense mussen ausgi ginn. Dat sinn ëm déi 10 % vum ganze Staatsbudget.
\n
If you start from the latest figures, that is roughly 3 billion euros a year that must be spent on defence in the state budget. That is about 10 % of the whole state budget.
\n\n21 November 2024 — asking the minister whether the museum project has been on ice since January 2023
\n\n\nEch wëll fir d’éischt wëssen: Stëmmt et, dass de Projet vum nationale Sportsmusée scho säit Januar 2023 op Äis läit wéinst Problemer mat der Permission de voirie vu Ponts et chaussées?
\n
First I want to know: is it true that the national sports museum project has been on ice since January 2023 because of problems with the road permit from the roads administration?
\n\n21 November 2024 — putting to the minister a contradiction between his answer in January and what he said today
\n\n\nDat heescht, haut sot Der, dass Der dat doten am Fong schonn am Hierscht 2022 wousst, an awer hat Der am Januar vun dësem Joer geschriwwen, dass Der dëst Joer am Januar nach näischt dovunner wousst.
\n
That means today you said that you in fact already knew this in autumn 2022, and yet in January of this year you wrote that in January you still knew nothing about it.
\n\n30 January 2024 — criticising the use of the language for nationalist politics
\n\n\nWat mir als LSAP awer a Fro stellen, ass, dass eis Sprooch vu vëlkeschem Gehabe benotzt gëtt, fir eng nationalistesch Politick wëllen ze promouvéieren.
\n
What we as the LSAP do question is that our language is used with folkish posturing to promote a nationalist policy.
\n\n30 April 2026 — criticising the reduction of integration policy to language and culture
\n\n\nMee d’Integratioun op Sprooch a Kultur ze reduzéiere gräift ze kuerz.
\n
But reducing integration to language and culture falls short.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nMir ënnerstëtzen dofir dëse Projet, fir d’international Zesummenaarbecht weider ze fërderen, wou et Sënn mécht.
\n
We therefore support this bill, to promote international cooperation further where it makes sense.
\n\n\nEt ass nämlech esou, dass d’Fransouse virun allem zu Lëtzebuerg extreem aktiv sinn, fir vill innovativ Entreprisë wëllen a Frankräich ze lackelen, andeem se hinne Computepower offréieren.
\n
The fact is that the French are extremely active in Luxembourg in particular, wanting to lure many innovative companies to France by offering them computing power.
\n\n\nAktuell gesi mir, dass d’Capacitéite vum Parquet net mat der Gréisst vun eiser Finanzplaz mathale kënnen.
\n
At present we see that the capacities of the prosecution service cannot keep up with the size of our financial centre.
\n\n\nDat sinn dräi Accorden, déi mir als Fraktioun begréissen a fir déi ech dann och elo dräimol eisen Accord ginn.
\n
These are three agreements that we as a group welcome, and for which I now give our approval three times over.
