Paul Galles is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for CSV in the Circonscription Centre, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n1 February 2024 — stating that school often cements a child's social status and needs much further work
\n\n\nAlso duerchaus en Domän, an deem mer an deenen nächste Joren nach ganz vill musse schaffen, well d’Schoul ganz oft de soziale Status vun engem Kand zementéiert.
\n
So very much a field in which we have to work a great deal in the coming years, because school very often cements a child's social status.
\n\n25 June 2024 — asking how the three new sections fit the government's plan to test abolishing sections
\n\n\nEch hat mech just am Cours de route vun dësem Gesetzesprojet dunn eng Kéier gefrot, wéi mer driwwer diskutéiert hunn, wéi d’Aféierung vun deenen dräi Sektioune géif dann zesummepasse mat dem Plang vun der Regierung, fir eng Kéier och ze testen, wat et géif heeschen, wann een d’Sektioune géif ofschafen.
\n
In the course of this bill I did ask myself once, when we discussed it, how the introduction of those three sections would fit with the government's plan to test at some point what it would mean to abolish the sections.
\n\n13 February 2025 — stating that the ministry's spring circular recommends bringing formal and non-formal education together
\n\n\nEt ass op alle Fall dee Modell, deen an der Circulaire de printemps vum Ministère och recommandéiert ginn ass, fir eeben déi formal an déi nonformal Bildung beieneenzeféieren, deen ech och op ville Plaze gesinn hunn, wou ech op Besuch war, fir ze kucken, wéi dat am Moment leeft.
\n
It is in any case the model that the ministry's spring circular also recommends, to bring formal and non-formal education closer together, and one I have seen in many places I visited to look at how it works at present.
\n\n17 March 2026 — stating his position that safety is the precondition of education
\n\n\nSécherheet ass keng Bonusoptioun am Bildungssystem, se ass d’Viraussetzung, fir dass d’Bildung iwwerhaapt funktionéiert.
\n
Safety is not a bonus option in the education system, it is the precondition for education to work at all.
\n\n23 January 2025 — the author answering the criticism of sanctions by naming the regime as their cause
\n\n\nD’Ursaach, woufir Sanktiounen ergraff ginn a woufir natierlech och d’Bevëlkerung zum Deel drënner leit – dat ass eebe leider esou –, sinn net mir, mee ass de Regimm.
\n
The cause of the sanctions, and of the fact that part of the population suffers under them, which is sadly the case, is not us but the regime.
\n\n18 November 2025 — stating his group's support for the resolution's self-commitment
\n\n\nAn dofir ass eeben déi Selbstopfuerderung an dëser Resolutioun eng, déi och eis vollst Ënnerstëtzung fënnt.
\n
And that is why the self-commitment in this resolution also has our full support.
\n\n14 December 2023 — regretting that the conference ended at a phasing-down rather than a phase-out
\n\n\nEch bedaueren, dass mer herno just bei engem Phasing-down sinn, dass mer net bei de Phasing-out komm sinn.
\n
I regret that in the end we are only at a phasing-down, that we did not reach the phase-out.
\n\n4 December 2024 — announcing he will explain how the geopolitical situation weighed on COP29
\n\n\nEch erlabe mer, Här President, op déi geopolitesch Situatioun eng Kéier anzegoen, well ech mengen, dass déi an dësem Fall dës COP29 zu Baku am Aserbaidjan ganz staark belaascht huet.
\n
Allow me, Mr President, to go into the geopolitical situation, because I think that in this case it weighed very heavily on COP29 in Baku in Azerbaijan.
\n\n22 January 2025 — reporting what the IPBES nexus study says about treating the subjects at the same time
\n\n\nMee den Nexus seet eeben, dass een all déi doten Theeme muss gläichzäiteg thematiséieren, upaken an och Léisunge sichen.
\n
But the nexus says that you have to raise, tackle and find solutions for all these subjects at the same time.
\n\n2 December 2025 — stating his disappointment with the COP30 conference
\n\n\nEch muss zouginn, Här President, léif Kolleeginnen a Kolleegen, dass ech vun dëser COP dëst Joer relativ enttäuscht sinn.
\n
I must admit, Mr President, dear colleagues, that I am relatively disappointed by this COP this year.
\n\n1 February 2024 — arguing that child poverty is unfair because children do not get the same start in life
\n\n\nD’Kanneraarmut ass och an deem Sënn besonnesch onfair, well et eigentlech an enger idealer Welt esou wär, dass all eis Kanner déi selwecht Startchancen am Liewe missten hunn, mee dat oft wéinst de soziale Schichten, dem Migratiounshannergrond, gewëssenen Aschränken oder anere Grënn net méiglech ass.
\n
Child poverty is also particularly unfair, because in an ideal world all our children would have the same starting chances in life, but often that is not possible because of social class, migration background, certain limitations or other reasons.
\n\n20 March 2025 — placing his hope in the overall national strategy against poverty, into which he says the motion's demand fits
\n\n\nWou ech meng Hoffnung drasetzen, dat ass esou eng Aarmutsbekämpfungsstrategie.
\n
Where I put my hope is in such a poverty reduction strategy.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nAlles dat si gutt Grënn, fir deen heite Rallongement ze ënnerstëtzen.
\n
All that gives good reasons to support this budget extension.
\n\n\nEch wollt den Här Inneminister froen, ob mer zu Lëtzebuerg eppes Vergläichbares hu wéi déi Härtefallkommissioun aus Däitschland.
\n
I wanted to ask the Minister of Home Affairs whether we in Luxembourg have anything comparable to that hardship commission in Germany.
\n\n\nJo, Zesummendenke mat anere Politickfelder. Nee, keng Instrumentaliséierung vun der Kooperatiounspolitick fir aner Ziler!
\n
Yes to thinking cooperation together with other policy fields. No to using cooperation policy for other aims!
\n\n\nEch mengen, dass de Problem elo net de feelende Wëllen ass, mee dass mir eis an engem Theema beweegen, dat gepräägt ass vun enger enormer Komplexitéit an och vu Laangfristegkeet vun der Erausfuerderung.
\n
I think the problem is not a lack of will, but that we are moving in a subject marked by enormous complexity and by the long-term nature of the challenge.
