Deputies for <a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Flsap\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/lsap\">LSAP</a> in the Circonscription Sud, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.</p>\n<h2>Parliament, elections and democracy</h2>\n<p>19 March 2024 — stating that all members are here to make the institution more transparent, and that the Chamber has done the right thing</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mir sinn alleguer hei an dëser Institutioun, fir dës Institutioun ze verteidegen, fir se méi transparent ze maachen, fir se méi no bei d’Leit ze bréngen, fir hir méi Representativitéit ze ginn, an ech mengen, hei hu mer genee dat Richtegt gemaach.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>We are all here in this institution to defend this institution, to make it more transparent, to bring it closer to the people, to give it more representativity, and I think here we have done exactly the right thing.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-03-19-n016\" class=\"wikiLink\"

wëll mech dorop beschränken, ze begréissen, dass mer hei eng Vereinfachung och virun allem fir d’Gemenge maachen, well an Zukunft déi Transmissioune vun den Daten iwwert de Centre informatique de l’État lafen a net méi iwwer all eenzel Gemeng.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>I will limit myself to welcoming that we are making a simplification here above all for the municipalities, because in future the data transmissions will run through the State computer centre and no longer through each individual municipality.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-04-25-n021\" class=\"wikiLink\"

majority exists</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ech gesinn am Moment eng breet Majoritéit, déi géint déi deklaréiert éischt Ziler sinn, déi vun der Regierung bekannt gi ginn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>At the moment I see a broad majority that is against the first declared aims which the government made known.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-03-19-n072\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-03-19-n072\">Sitting of 19 March 2025</a></p>\n<p>10 June 2025 — calling the new rule a pragmatic approach</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Dat gesot, fannen ech, dass dat hei eng ganz pragmatesch Approche ass, wou mer och an der Kommissioun pragmatesch Weeër gewielt hunn, wou mer dat Richtegt, awer net méi, gemaach hunn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>That said, I find this a very pragmatic approach, where we also chose pragmatic ways in the committee, where we did the right thing, but no more.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-06-10-n086\" class=\"wikiLink\"

end of May</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>An eisen Aen awer ass et noutwenneg, datt virum definitive Vott Enn Mee mer als Chamber decidéieren, a wat fir enger Form mer informéiert ginn iwwert dee leschte Stand bei deem Accord.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>In our eyes it is necessary that before the definitive vote at the end of May we as the Chamber decide in what form we are informed about the latest state of that accord.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-05-02-n023\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2024-05-02-n023\">Sitting of 2 May 2024</a></p>\n<p>13 November 2024 — arguing for full reimbursement of glasses while asking what the minister has done about the motion the Chamber passed</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Jo, ech ginn dat zou, dat wäert méi kaschten, mee ass gradesou berechtegt wéi eng besser Prise en charge vun den Zänn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Yes, I admit it, that will cost more, but it is just as justified as better cover for dental care.</em></p>\n<p><a

measures as falling short of the petition and the motion</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ech soen der Madamm Minister Merci fir d’Ukënnegung vun enger Rei vu méi klenge Moossnamen, mee dat war weeder dat, wat an der Petitioun gefuerdert gouf, nach dat, wat an der Motioun festgehale gouf.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>I thank the minister for announcing a series of smaller measures, but that was neither what the petition asked for nor what the motion set out.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-10-15-n100\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-10-15-n100\">Sitting of 15 October 2025</a></p>\n<p>20 May 2026 — arguing that announcements must be turned into implementation</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>An der Santéspolitick komme mer net virun duerch Ukënnegungen, mee doduerch, dass mer déi Ukënnegungen och wierklech an d’Praxis ëmsetzen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>In health policy we do not make progress through announcements, but by really putting those announcements into practice.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2026-05-20-n143\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2026-05-20-n143\">Sitting of 20 May 2026</a></p>\n<h2>Pensions</h2>\n<p>19 March 2025 — criticising the 'cappuccino' model that he attributes to the Prime Minister</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Dee Modell géif ganz kloer zu enger Schwächung vun eisem allgemenge Pensiounssystem féieren, zugonschte vu privaten Zousazversécherungen, ob betriblecher oder individueller Natur.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>That model would clearly lead to a weakening of our general pension system, in favour of private supplementary insurance, whether occupational or individual.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-03-19-n072\" class=\"wikiLink\"

blaming his own group</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Et huet mech extreem gewonnert, dass den Här Spautz d’Aussoe vun eisem Premierminister zu de Pensiounen net verstanen huet an eis beschëllegt huet, dass vun eis lauter komesch Saachen no bausse gezielt gi wären iwwert dat, wat de Premier gesot huet.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>It surprised me greatly that Mr Spautz did not understand our Prime Minister's statements on pensions and accused us of spreading all sorts of odd things about what the Prime Minister said.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-05-14-n082\" class=\"wikiLink\"

sinn an der Zwëschenzäit vun engem Duerchschnëttspensiounsalter vun 59 op 61 eropgaangen. Et kann een also net soen, dass déi Reform do näischt bruecht huet.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>In the meantime we have gone from an average retirement age of 59 to 61. So you cannot say that that reform brought nothing.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-05-14-n083\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-05-14-n083\">Sitting of 14 May
