Meris Sehovic is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for déi gréng in the Circonscription Sud, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n3 December 2024 — agreeing that the motion's third point addresses a real problem
\n\n\nWat de Punkt 3 aus der Motioun ugeet, mengen ech schonn, dass et en Handlungsbedarf gëtt.
\n
As far as point 3 of the motion is concerned, I do think there is a need for action.
\n\n11 December 2024 — stating that buyers are left unprotected against the market and that action is urgent
\n\n\nEch mengen, dass mer hei an engem Beräich ënnerwee sinn, wou mer net zënter der Baukris elo eréischt mierken, dass de Keefer – also d’Biergerinnen an d’Bierger – a verschidde Situatioune schutzlos dem Marché ausgeliwwert ass, soudass et do en dréngenden Handlungsbedarf gëtt.
\n
I think we are in an area where it is not only since the construction crisis that we notice that the buyer, that is the citizens, is in various situations left unprotected against the market, so that there is an urgent need to act.
\n\n30 April 2026 — asking whether public building projects should shift further towards rental housing
\n\n\nAn ech froe mech, ob mer bei den ëffentleche Bauprojeten net grad elo missten nach méi Accent setzen op de Locatif.
\n
I ask myself whether in public building projects we should not right now put still more emphasis on rental.
\n\n17 June 2026 — criticising the government's housing record over three years
\n\n\nOp all dëse Froen hu mer an deene leschten dräi Joer leider ganz, ganz wéineg vun der Regierung gesinn ausser Réckschrëtter, Verwässerungen an eidel Verspriechen.
\n
On all these questions we have unfortunately seen very, very little from the government in the last three years, apart from steps backwards, watering down and empty promises.
\n\n28 February 2024 — stating the average number of days between a request for support and the decision
\n\n\nD’Zuele vun der nationaler Inklusiounskommissioun hu gewisen, dass an der Moyenne 203 Deeg vergi vun der Demande bis zu der Entscheedung.
\n
The figures of the national inclusion commission showed that on average 203 days pass from the request to the decision.
\n\n25 June 2024 — calling for the school system to be harmonised and developed as a whole
\n\n\nMir sinn dowéinst, Här President, léif Kolleeginnen a Kolleegen, der Meenung, dass et an noer Zukunft erëm muss zu enger Synthees kommen, zu enger Harmoniséierung an zu enger ganzheetlecher Weiderentwécklung vun eisem ëffentleche Schoulsystem.
\n
That is why we are of the opinion, Mr President, dear colleagues, that in the near future there must again be a synthesis, a harmonisation and an overall further development of our public school system.
\n\n21 January 2025 — asking the minister which further secondary schools are planned
\n\n\nVu d’Entwécklung vun de Schülerzuelen an d’Projektiounen an d’Zukunft, wéi eng weider Lycéeën, wéi eng weider konkreet Projete sinn an deenen nächste Joren ënnerwee?
\n
Given the development of pupil numbers and the projections for the future, which further secondary schools, which further concrete projects are on the way in the coming years?
\n\n20 November 2025 — asking the minister whether her building administration should keep building new secondary schools
\n\n\nAn dowéinst géing ech hei gären nach eng Kéier d’Fro awer un d’Ministesch stellen, ob d’Madamm Ministesch der Meenung ass, dass och d’Administration des bâtiments publics, also hir Verwaltung, sollt nei Lycéeë bauen oder ob dat wouanescht sollt ugesidelt sinn an Zukunft.
\n
And so I would like to put the question to the minister once again, whether the minister thinks that the Administration des bâtiments publics, that is her administration, should also build new secondary schools, or whether that should be placed elsewhere in future.
\n\n16 May 2024 — recalling that the importance of investment in modern army infrastructure was already covered on the previous bill
\n\n\nEch mengen, dass mer bei deem virege Projet de loi schonn d’Méiglechkeet haten, op d’Wichtegkeet vun Investitiounen a modern Infrastrukture fir d’Arméi anzegoen.
\n
I think we already had the chance, on the previous bill, to go into the importance of investment in modern infrastructure for the army.
\n\n15 May 2025 — setting the conditions under which his group supports a European defence policy
\n\n\nMir Gréng soe Jo zu enger europäescher Verdeedegungspolitick, wa se effikass ass, wa se demokratesch kontrolléiert ass a wa se eethesch verantwortbar ass.
\n
We Greens say yes to a European defence policy if it is effective, if it is democratically controlled and if it is ethically justifiable.
\n\n25 April 2024 — stating his position on where mobility investment must go
\n\n\nDe ländleche Raum muss och an Zukunft eng Prioritéit bleiwen.
\n
Rural areas must remain a priority in the future too.
\n\n12 December 2024 — stating that shelving the second city tram route was a political choice
\n\n\nEt ass also ganz eleng eng politesch Decisioun, fir de gesamte Projet op Äis ze leeën an en an den Tirang ze leeën.
\n
So it is a purely political decision to put the whole project on ice and file it away in the drawer.
\n\n20 November 2025 — proposing that alternative sites be sought for sports aviation
\n\n\nDofir hu mer dës Motioun ausgeschafft, wou mer proposéieren, dass mer Alternative siche fir d’Sportsfligerei.
\n
That is why we drew up this motion, in which we propose that we look for alternatives for sports aviation.
\n\n29 April 2026 — explaining why school transport in the south costs 3.7 times more
\n\n\nEt huet domadder ze dinn, dass mer am Süden, anescht wéi am Rescht vum Land, an engem extreem urbaniséierten, dichte Reseau fueren, mat ganz, ganz, ganz villen Arrêten.
\n
It has to do with the fact that in the south, unlike in the rest of the country, we run in an extremely urbanised, dense network, with very, very, very many stops.
\n\n10 December 2024 — attacking the right-wing benches for wanting to send people back quickly
\n\n\nLéif Kolleeginnen a Kolleegen, et ass mëttlerweil keng Iwwerraschung méi, dass d’Kolleege riets am Eck gäre vun all Geleeënheet profitéieren, fir d’Leit esou séier wéi méiglech an d’Leed an an de Krich zréckzeschécken.
\n
Dear colleagues, it is by now no surprise any more that the colleagues on the right like to use every opportunity to send people back into suffering and into war as fast as possible.
\n\n22 January 2025 — restating what the motion asks for
\n\n\nAn der Motioun froe mer eebe just, dass vulnerabel Mënschen, notamment Kanner, net aus de Strukture geheit ginn an op d’Strooss gesat ginn.
\n
In the motion we ask only that vulnerable people, children in particular, are not thrown out of the structures and put on the street.
\n\n9 June 2026 — criticising the bill for allowing unaccompanied minors aged 16 and over to be detained
\n\n\nEt erlaabt ausdrécklech, datt onbegleet Mineuren ab 16 Joer wärend der Filtrageprozedur agespaart kënne ginn.
\n
It expressly allows unaccompanied minors from the age of 16 to be locked up during the screening procedure.
\n\n14 November 2024 — questioning the legality of the controls on the German and French borders
\n\n\nMir stellen dowéinst – an dat wëll ech och op dëser Plaz ausdrécklech soen, an ech hoffen, dass d’Chamber sech hannert deem Avis och ralliéiere kann – ausdrécklech d’Legalitéit vun deene Mesüren op der däitsch-lëtzebuergescher an och op der franséisch-lëtzebuergescher Grenz a Fro.
\n
We therefore expressly question - and I want to say that clearly here, and I hope the Chamber can rally behind that opinion - the legality of those measures on the German-Luxembourg and also on the French-Luxembourg border.
\n\n10 December 2024 — calling the German interior minister's move legally problematic
\n\n\nD’Demarche vun der däitscher Inneministesch ass extreem problematesch, virun allem och op legalem Niveau.
\n
The German interior minister's move is extremely problematic, above all on the legal level.
\n\n3 December 2024 — arguing that bicycle police patrols work well in other countries
\n\n\nA verschiddene Länner huet sech den Asaz vu Policepatrullen op Vëloen als positiv an effikass erwisen, well et dozou féiert, dass d’Police méi no bei de Biergerinnen a Bierger ass an d’Presenz an de Quartiere ka verstäerken.
\n
In several countries the use of police patrols on bicycles has proved positive and effective, because it brings the police closer to citizens and can strengthen their presence in the neighbourhoods.
\n\n5 December 2024 — arguing against reintroducing controls at the EU internal borders
\n\n\nWell d’Äntwert op Onsécherheet an op Onstabilitéit ass eeben net, erëm Grenzkontrollen op de Bannegrenze vun der EU anzeféieren.
\n
Because the answer to insecurity and instability is precisely not to reintroduce border controls at the internal borders of the EU.
\n\n16 October 2025 — criticising the bill for lacking criteria, missions and transparency
\n\n\nEt feele Krittären, et feelen d’Missiounen, et feelt d’Transparenz, wéini a firwat esou Unitéite geschaaft kënne ginn oder och erëm ofgezu kënne ginn.
\n
Criteria are missing, the missions are missing, transparency is missing about when and why such units can be created or withdrawn again.
\n\n29 October 2025 — the author criticising the majority's position
\n\n\nD’Majoritéit wëll, dass d’Mënscherechtskommissioun Avisen ofgëtt am Kader vun der Kameraiwwerwaachung, mee wëll net, dass se d’Moyene kritt, fir dat kënnen anstänneg ze maachen.
\n
The majority wants the human rights commission to give opinions on camera surveillance, but does not want it to get the means to do that properly.
\n\n25 April 2024 — stating his position that public investment is how the State sets an example
\n\n\nDe Staat muss mat guddem Beispill virgoen, an dat mécht en iwwer seng ëffentlech Investitiounen.
\n
The State must lead by example, and it does that through its public investment.
\n\n12 December 2024 — criticising the small number of projects on this year's list
\n\n\nD’Lëscht vun dësem Joer huet – dat hunn ech an der Kommissioun schonn ugemierkt – leider just 19 Projeten op der Lëscht.
\n
This year's list has - as I already noted in committee - unfortunately only 19 projects on it.
\n\n21 January 2025 — stating why the renovation is necessary
\n\n\nDat ass noutwendeg, well d’Gebai aktuell weeder de funktionelle Besoinen entsprécht, nach de gesetzleche Virgaben am Beräich vun Technik a genereller Sécherheet, nach den Ufuerderungen am Beräich vun Energieeffizienz.
\n
That is necessary, because the building at present meets neither the functional needs, nor the legal requirements for technical and general safety, nor the requirements on energy efficiency.
\n\n10 February 2026 — announcing his group will vote for the bill
\n\n\nMerci, Här President. Och mir Gréng wäerten de Projet matstëmmen.
\n
Thank you, Mr President. We Greens will also vote for the project.
\n\n19 December 2023 — accusing the government of fighting poor people instead of poverty
\n\n\nD’Regierung seet, se wéilt Aarmut bekämpfen. An der Realitéit bekämpft se aarm Leit.
\n
The government says it wants to fight poverty. In reality it fights poor people.
\n\n14 March 2024 — reporting what the joint committee heard about specialised judicial police officers being used to enforce the begging ban
\n\n\nZweetens, héich spezialiséiert Beamtinnen a Beamte vun der Police judiciaire, déi an der Bekämpfung vum Terrorismus aktiv sinn, déi an der Bekämpfung vum Blanchiment vun der Finanzkriminalitéit schaffe sollen, mussen d’Heescheverbuet an der Stad Lëtzebuerg enforcéieren an do patrulléiere goen.
\n
Second, highly specialised judicial police officers, who work on fighting terrorism and on fighting money laundering and financial crime, have to enforce the begging ban in Luxembourg City and patrol there.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nEch fannen net, dass d’Chamber Recommandatioune brauch vun engem Minister, ënner wéi enge Konditioune se Dokumenter soll liesen.
\n
I do not think the Chamber needs recommendations from a minister on the conditions under which it should read documents.
\n\n\nDat sollte mer an Zukunft, souwäit et geet, vermeide bei Projeten, déi wichteg sinn.
\n
In future we should avoid that, as far as possible, on projects that are important.
\n\n\nDen Taux de correction op kommunalem Plang ass 2023 bei enger stabel bleiwender Unzuel vu Reklamatioune weesentlech eropgaangen: vu 74,3 % am Joer 2022 op 88,2 % am Joer 2023.
\n
The correction rate at municipal level rose substantially in 2023 while the number of complaints stayed stable: from 74.3% in 2022 to 88.2% in 2023.
\n\n\nGeet dat op d’Käschte vun eiser Energieinfrastruktur, vum ëffentlechen Transport oder vum Naturschutz?
\n
Does that come at the expense of our energy infrastructure, of public transport or of nature protection?
\n\n\nDéi, déi gären d’Kooperatioun zum Business degradéieren, sollte sech bewosst sinn: Solidaritéit ass keen Deal – si ass eng moralesch Verflichtung!
\n
Those who like to downgrade cooperation to business should be aware: solidarity is not a deal, it is a moral obligation!
\n\n\nDëse Projet de loi ënnersträicht nach eng Kéier, wéi essenziell wichteg et ass, dass mer och Investitioune maachen, fir eist Land méi resilient ze maachen.
\n
This bill underlines once again how essential it is that we also make investments to make our country more resilient.
\n\n\nSi ersetzt net déi däitsch Alphabetiséierung a schaaft och net eis Méisproochegkeet of.
\n
It does not replace German alphabetisation and it does not abolish our multilingualism.
\n\n\nDéi Diskussioune féiere mer jo awer schonn zënter 20, 30 Jore vläicht.
\n
We have been having these discussions for perhaps 20 or 30 years already.
