\n25 April 2024 — backing the September 2024 deadline in the rent-cap motion
\n\n\nA September 2024 schéngt eise gudden Datum, d’autant plus, well mer jo wëssen, dass op där anerer Säit fir d’Proprietären, d’Investisseure ganz vill Mesüre geholl goufen.
\n
And September 2024 seems to us a good date, all the more so because we know that on the other side a great many measures have been taken for owners and investors.
\n\n10 October 2024 — questioning how a longer deadline can solve the housing problem
\n\n\nWell et muss awer ee mer erklären, wisou eng Verlängerung vun engem Delai, wéini soll ugefaange gi mat bauen, soll de Logementsproblem an de Grëff kréien.
\n
Because someone has to explain to me why extending the deadline for when building must start is supposed to get the housing problem under control.
\n\n25 June 2025 — warning that the tax advantage may be priced into sale prices
\n\n\nAn dat ass natierlech och hei eppes, wat ee muss am A behalen: dass déi steierlech Avantagen, déi mer hei schafen, net herno erëm agepräist ginn an d’Prix-de-venten.
\n
And that is of course something to keep an eye on here as well: that the tax advantages we are creating are not priced into the sale prices afterwards.
\n\n20 May 2026 — stating support for a land-mobilisation tax and a tax on empty dwellings
\n\n\nJo, mir wëllen eng Mobiliséierungssteier. Jo, mir wëllen eng Tax op eidel stoend Wunnengen.
\n
Yes, we want a land-mobilisation tax. Yes, we want a tax on empty dwellings.
\n\n19 March 2024 — stating that political decisions must be traceable by the public
\n\n\nMir sinn der Meenung, dass et extreem wichteg ass, dass politesch Decisioune kënnen novollzu ginn.
\n
We take the view that it is extremely important that political decisions can be followed and understood.
\n\n26 June 2024 — stating the Chamber's scrutiny role
\n\n\nMir sinn hei keng Informatiounsversammlung. Mir sinn hei, fir d’Regierung ze kontrolléieren.
\n
We are not an information meeting here. We are here to scrutinise the government.
\n\n10 June 2025 — explaining which meetings the new register rule covers
\n\n\nDëst spillt fir organiséiert Entrevuen, déi entweeder physesch oder iwwer Visiokonferenz stattfonnt hunn.
\n
This applies to organised meetings that took place either physically or by video conference.
\n\n9 June 2026 — judging the work of the past ten days below the standard parliament could reach
\n\n\nEch denken, dass mer do eng besser, eng uerdentlech parlamentaresch Aarbecht a besser demokratesch Debatte kéinte féiere wéi dat, wat elo hei an deene leschten zéng Deeg geschitt ass.
\n
I think we could do better, proper parliamentary work and hold better democratic debates than what has happened here over the past ten days.
\n\n23 November 2023 — disputing the government's claim of a fourfold adjustment of the tax table to inflation
\n\n\nEt ass net véiermol dat, wat Dir elo decidéiert hutt, Dir hutt 1,5-mol decidéiert!
\n
It is not four times what you have now decided, you decided 1.5 times!
\n\n12 June 2024 — proposing a fair and resource-saving tax reform
\n\n\nNeie Schwong géife mer awer zum Beispill kréien, wa mer séier eng gerecht a ressourcëschounend Steierreform géifen ëmsetzen.
\n
We would get new momentum, for example, if we quickly implemented a fair and resource-saving tax reform.
\n\n17 December 2025 — proposing tax relief targeted on lower and middle incomes instead of the government's design
\n\n\nMir géifen eng steierlech Entlaaschtung virgesinn, déi sozial méi cibléiert wier op déi ënnescht an déi mëttelst Akommesschichten an net och nach uewe bei den Akommesse vun 200.000 Euro an driwwer Minussen an den Tablo schreiwen.
\n
We would provide tax relief that is socially more targeted on the lower and middle income groups and would not also write reductions into the table at the top, for incomes of 200,000 euros and above.
\n\n20 May 2026 — reframing the dispute as who will have to raise taxes later
\n\n\nD’Fro ass, ob eng nächst Regierung muss d’Steieren erhéije wéinst där Finanzpolitick, déi dës Regierung am Moment mécht, a wien dat dann och duerno muss bezuelen.
\n
The question is whether a next government will have to raise taxes because of the financial policy this government is running now, and who will then have to pay for it.
\n\n23 November 2023 — stating her position on the liberalisation announced in the health chapter
\n\n\nDen Accès zum Dokter dierf net vum Portmonni ofhänke vun deem Eenzelnen!
\n
Access to the doctor must not depend on the individual's wallet!
\n\n20 May 2026 — criticising the government's record on nurses' competences, career bridges and the medical master's degree
\n\n\nAn der Realitéit hu mer en Debakel bei den Attributioune vun den Infirmièren, nach ëmmer keng Passerellen an den Dokter-Master kënnt fréiestens 2029.
\n
In reality we have a debacle over the competences of nurses, still no career bridges, and the medical master's degree will come in 2029 at the earliest.
\n\n20 December 2023 — stating that billionaires and multinationals are best placed to avoid tax
\n\n\nAn dat dréit derzou bäi, datt grad Milliardären an international Konzerner am beschte wëssen, wéi se op 0 % Steiere kommen.
\n
And that contributes to billionaires and international groups knowing best how to get down to 0% tax.
\n\n15 October 2025 — stating that employment in Luxembourg banks has been flat for a decade while the financial sector as a whole grows
\n\n\nLaut verschiddene Statistike stagnéiert den Emploi an de Lëtzebuerger Banken zënter engem Joerzéngt – dat ass also näischt ganz Rezentes –, obwuel de Finanzsecteur als Ganzt weider wiisst.
\n
According to several statistics, employment in Luxembourg banks has stagnated for a decade, so this is nothing very recent, although the financial sector as a whole keeps growing.
\n\n18 March 2026 — calling it unacceptable that a third state's measures take effect on Luxembourg state institutions
\n\n\nEiser Meenung no ass et inakzeptabel, datt äusserst bedenklech Mesüre vun engem Drëttstaat faktesch Wierkung op staatlech Institutiounen zu Lëtzebuerg hunn.
\n
In our opinion it is unacceptable that highly questionable measures by a third state have a practical effect on state institutions in Luxembourg.
\n\n17 June 2026 — characterising the content of the bill
\n\n\nBon, deen heite Projet erfënnt d’Rad elo net nei. Et ass virun allem nach eng Kéier eng Institutionaliséierung vun den Instrumenter, déi sech schonn organiséieren, plus dann déi Transpositioun vun der Direktiv.
\n
Well, this bill does not reinvent the wheel. It is above all another institutionalisation of instruments that are already organising themselves, plus the transposition of the directive.
\n\n20 November 2024 — criticising the government for a lack of clear public positions in foreign policy
\n\n\nMir vermëssen ze dacks déi staark Stëmm, déi Meenung, déi een huet an zum Ausdrock bréngt.
\n
Too often we miss the strong voice, the opinion that one holds and expresses.
\n\n23 January 2025 — rejecting the ADR speaker's comparison with holiday destinations in other dictatorships
\n\n\nWell, Här Keup, ech weess net, wat Vakanzendestinatioune mat Politick ze dinn hunn.
\n
Because, Mr Keup, I do not know what holiday destinations have to do with politics.
\n\n4 March 2025 — explaining that unease about Luxembourg's position on eastern Congo prompted the motion
\n\n\nWéi ech virdru gesot hunn, gëtt et eng gewëssen Onrou iwwert de Positionnement vu Lëtzebuerg, wat elo de Konflikt an d’Aggressiounen, déi gemaach ginn am Oste vum Kongo, ubelaangt.
\n
As I said earlier, there is a certain unease about Luxembourg's positioning regarding the conflict and the aggressions committed in eastern Congo.
\n\n29 October 2025 — stating her party's expectation of a value-based foreign policy
\n\n\nEisen Usproch ass kloer: Eng wäertebaséiert Aussepolitick ass kee Luxus, mee si ass d’Réckgrat vun eiser Demokratie.
\n
Our aspiration is clear: a value-based foreign policy is not a luxury, it is the backbone of our democracy.
\n\n19 December 2023 — giving her group's support because the bill implements the national energy and climate plan
\n\n\nMir wäerten dee Projet natierlech matstëmmen, et ass en Deel vun der Ëmsetzung vum PNEC.
\n
We will of course vote for this bill; it is part of implementing the PNEC.
\n\n25 April 2024 — arguing that the fuel revenue the motion defends is not sustainable
\n\n\nDat Eent ass, dass déi Recetten, op déi d’ADR hei net wëll verzichten, alles aneres wéi nohalteg sinn.
\n
The first point is that the revenue the ADR does not want to give up here is anything but sustainable.
\n\n12 February 2025 — criticising the US president's rejection of climate change and its consequences
\n\n\nDe President Trump gleeft net un de Klimawandel, handelt extreem kuerzfristeg a schaaft domat enorm Problemer fir ons Kanner a Kandskanner.
\n
President Trump does not believe in climate change, acts extremely short-term and thereby creates enormous problems for our children and grandchildren.
\n\n20 May 2026 — stating that biodiversity loss does not disappear when it goes unmentioned
\n\n\nDe Biodiversitéitsverloscht verschwënnt net, just well een net driwwer schwätzt.
\n
The loss of biodiversity does not disappear just because nobody talks about it.
\n\n12 February 2025 — calling for common European paths in defence, economic modernisation and state investment
\n\n\nDéi demokratesch Parteien an Europa mussen haut prett sinn, fir wierklech op nei, gemeinschaftlech Weeër ze goen, an der Defense, bei der wirtschaftlecher Moderniséierung a bei de staatlechen Investitiounen.
\n
The democratic parties in Europe must be ready today to take genuinely new, common paths, in defence, in economic modernisation and in state investment.
\n\n14 May 2025 — setting out the speaker's understanding of a strong defence
\n\n\nFir ons bedeit eng staark Verdeedegung net, datt mir wëllen ugräifen, mee et bedeit, staark genuch ze sinn, datt keen op domm Gedanke kënnt!
\n
For us a strong defence does not mean that we want to attack; it means being strong enough that nobody gets stupid ideas.
\n\n21 January 2026 — stating that defence investment must aim only at improving security
\n\n\nA Verdeedegung ze investéieren, muss kloer ausschliisslech zum Zil hunn, eis Sécherheet ze verbesseren.
\n
Investing in defence must clearly have the sole aim of improving our security.
\n\n20 May 2026 — rejecting the 3.5 percent defence spending target as neither effective nor realistic
\n\n\nMir sinn net mat deenen 3,5 % einfach absolutt esou d’accord. Dat ass weeder zilféierend nach realistesch.
\n
We do not simply agree with those 3.5 percent in absolute terms. That is neither effective nor realistic.
\n\n25 April 2024 — asking for a detailed committee discussion of the SCHUFA question
\n\n\nEch wier op alle Fall frou, wa mer de Punkt iwwert d’SCHUFA kéinten eng Kéier am Detail an der Kommissioun diskutéieren, fir do déi Positioun vun deem engen oder aneren ze héieren.
\n
In any case I would be glad if we could discuss the SCHUFA point in detail in committee, to hear the position of one side or the other.
\n\n18 December 2024 — citing the rapporteur's figure for the productivity gain from AI
\n\n\nD’KI kéint d’Méiglechkeet ginn, relativ kuerzfristeg d’Produktivitéit vu Lëtzebuerg ze steigeren, ëm 9 % ass déi Zuel, déi Der zitéiert.
\n
AI could offer the possibility of raising Luxembourg's productivity relatively quickly, 9% is the figure that you quote.
\n\n12 June 2024 — asking the Prime Minister whether Statec calculated the inflation impact of the price cap
\n\n\nDat war iwwert d’Berechnunge par rapport zu dem Energiepräisdeckel, ob Der dat vum Statec och berechne gelooss hätt, fir ze wëssen, wat do den Impakt op d’Inflatioun wär.
\n
That was about the calculations on the energy price cap, whether you had Statec work out what the impact on inflation would be.
\n\n13 June 2024 — warning that ending the price cap makes electricity expensive during the switch to electric heating and cars
\n\n\nDat eent ass eeben, dass mer elo eng Transitioun Richtung Elektresch gären hätte mat de Wäermepompelen, mat den Elektroautoen, dass awer duerch d’Ewechfale vun där Energiepräisbrems herno d’Elektresch riskéiert, wierklech deier ze ginn iwwert dat Joer, wat elo kënnt.
\n
One point is that we would like a transition towards electricity with heat pumps and electric cars, but that with the energy price brake falling away electricity risks becoming really expensive over the coming year.
\n\n18 December 2024 — criticising the reduction of the electricity price cap
\n\n\nObwuel virun allem d’Elektreschpräisser nach ee Joer sécher wäerten héich bleiwen, gëtt den Deckel um Elektresch ëm d’Hallschent erofgeschrauft. Et ass dat falscht Signal zum falsche Moment.
\n
Although electricity prices in particular will certainly stay high for another year, the cap on electricity is being cut by half. That is the wrong signal at the wrong moment.
\n\n9 June 2026 — arguing against the habit of subsidising fossil fuels
\n\n\nMir musse fortkomme vun deem Gedanken, datt d’fossill Energien an Zukunft ëmmer wäerte kompenséiert ginn, well sech ganz einfach och d’Fro vun der Ofhängegkeet a vun der Versuergung stellt.
\n
We must move away from the idea that fossil energy will always be compensated in future, because the question of dependence and of supply simply arises.
\n\n14 May 2025 — criticising the plan to use CO2 tax revenue to finance the pension system
\n\n\nD’CO2-Tax-Recetten ze mëssbrauchen, fir de Pensiounssystem ofzesécheren, dat ass sech an d’Täsch gelunn.
\n
To misuse the CO2 tax receipts to secure the pension system is deceiving yourself.
\n\n10 July 2025 — criticising the government's plan to reform pensions by making people work longer
\n\n\nAn de leschten Nol gouf ageschloen, wéi trotz all Consultatioun, déi eppes anescht gesot huet, fir d’Pensiounen ze reforméieren, nëmmen drop tabléiert gouf, datt d’Leit méi laang misste schaffe goen – och dat ouni Sozialdialog, dee sech esou kann nennen.
\n
And the last nail was driven in when, despite every consultation that said something different, the only thing counted on for reforming pensions was that people would have to work longer, and that too without a social dialogue worthy of the name.
\n\n13 February 2025 — stating the principle behind her motion
\n\n\nMee et geet dorëms, dass mir an Europa an hei am Land responsabel si fir dat, wat mir hei consomméieren.
\n
But the point is that in Europe and here in this country we are responsible for what we consume here.
\n\n28 April 2026 — putting two questions to the prime minister: why hold a tripartite if there is no crisis, and why wait six weeks to call it if there is one
\n\n\nWann et keng Kris gëtt, wisou dann eng Tripartitt? A wann et eng Kris gëtt, firwat waart Der da sechs Wochen, bis datt Der se zesummerufft?
\n
If there is no crisis, why a tripartite? And if there is a crisis, why do you wait six weeks before you call it together?
\n\n26 June 2024 — insisting the wider youth-protection and youth-criminal-law reform must be completed
\n\n\nAn natierlech – ech schléisse mech do deene Virriedner un, déi dat ënnerstrach hunn – ass et extreem wichteg, dass mer dee globalen Text, déi Reforme vum Jugendschutz, vum Jugendstrofrecht a vun den Affer an Zeie vu Strofdoten, op en Ofschloss kréien.
\n
And of course, joining the previous speakers who stressed this, it is extremely important that we complete the overall text, the reforms of youth protection, of youth criminal law, and of victims and witnesses of offences.
\n\n15 October 2025 — arguing for a known maximum length of pre-trial detention
\n\n\nAn ech sinn der Meenung, datt et wichteg ass, datt een, wann een am Prisong sëtzt an nach keen definitiivt Urteel huet, op d’mannst weess, wéi laang dat maximal kann daueren, bis een en definitiivt Urteel kritt.
\n
And I am of the opinion that it is important that someone who is in prison without a final judgment at least knows how long it can last at most until they get a final judgment.
\n\n21 May 2026 — stating that the chamber created by this bill was already planned in 2023
\n\n\nDat heescht, dat, wat elo hei geschitt, war eigentlech schonn 2023 geplangt.
\n
That means what is happening here now was in fact already planned in 2023.
\n\n17 June 2026 — explaining what her motion asks for
\n\n\nEt geet drëm, d’Transitioun hei ze begleeden, déi mat ze evaluéieren, net eréischt de Moment, wou d’Gesetz a Kraaft ass, dass ee muss kucken: Wou sti mer an deem Moment, wou et a Kraaft trëtt?
\n
The point is to accompany the transition here and to evaluate it, not only at the moment the law comes into force, when you have to ask: where do we stand at the moment it takes effect?
\n\n28 February 2024 — stating that Luxembourg as a rich country carries responsibility towards the people who produce for it
\n\n\nMir hunn eng grouss Verantwortung als räicht Land par rapport zu deene Mënschen, déi fir ons produzéieren an déi an deene Länner liewen.
\n
We have a great responsibility as a rich country towards the people who produce for us and who live in those countries.
\n\n20 November 2024 — asking the minister what additional commitments he requires before Luxembourg agrees to Mercosur
\n\n\nDuerfir meng prezis Fro: Wat genee mengt Der mat deenen zousätzlechen Engagementer, déi Dir braucht, fir den Accord vun der Lëtzebuerger Regierung heizou ze ginn?
\n
Hence my precise question: what exactly do you mean by those additional commitments that you need before the Luxembourg government can give its consent to the agreement?
\n\n11 December 2024 — stating figures on Luxembourg's share of the region's population and output
\n\n\nLëtzebuerg huet just en Undeel vu 5 % un der Populatioun vun der Groussregioun, dofir awer 17 % vum PIB.
\n
Luxembourg has only a 5% share of the Greater Region's population, but 17% of its GDP.
\n\n26 June 2025 — demanding that the gender, social and sustainability chapters be enforceable and not only on paper
\n\n\nEt muss allerdéngs derfir gesuergt ginn, datt déi Kapitelen iwwer Gendergläichstellung, Soziales an Nohaltegkeet, déi dra sinn, och net nëmmen um Pabeier dostinn, mee och effektiv enforcéiert kënne ginn.
\n
It must however be made sure that the chapters on gender equality, social matters and sustainability that are in it do not only stand on paper, but can also actually be enforced.
\n\n25 April 2024 — calling the measures in the motion necessary against poverty
\n\n\nAn dat hei si wichteg Mesüren, déi misste geholl ginn am Kampf géint d’Aarmut.
\n
And these are important measures that would have to be taken in the fight against poverty.
\n\n12 June 2024 — proposing that the country fight child poverty with social and school policies aimed at children
\n\n\nAls Lëtzebuerg musse mir eis et leeschten, d’Kanneraarmut ze bekämpfen, eng Sozialpolitick ze maachen, déi op d’Kanner zougeschnidden ass, an eng Schoulpolitick, déi net méi Ongerechtegkeete schaaft.
\n
As Luxembourg we must afford to fight child poverty, to make a social policy tailored to children and a school policy that no longer creates injustices.
\n\n19 March 2025 — defending her party's call for a 400-euro rise in the minimum pension against the charge that it is untargeted
\n\n\nWou mer der Meenung sinn, dass déi Leit, déi hiert Liewe laang cotiséiert hunn, herno och sollen eng Rent ausbezuelt kréien, déi dem absolutte Minimum entsprécht, deen een hei am Land brauch fir ze liewen.
\n
We are of the opinion that people who contributed all their lives should afterwards be paid a pension that matches the absolute minimum you need to live on in this country.
\n\n14 December 2023 — arguing that cross-border workers must be able to work from home
\n\n\nMir sinn ugewisen dorobber, dass mer Leit vun iwwerall hier aus der Groussregioun hei zu Lëtzebuerg schaffen hunn, an déi mussen dat och kënne vun doheem aus maachen.
\n
We depend on having people from all over the Greater Region working here in Luxembourg, and they must also be able to do that from home.
\n\n10 July 2025 — dating the start of the crisis to the labour minister questioning the unions' exclusive bargaining right
\n\n\nSe ass ugaang den 8. Oktober zejoert, wéi den Aarbechtsminister de Gewerkschafte matgedeelt huet, datt hiert Exklusivrecht bei de Kollektivvertragsverhandlungen a Fro gestallt wier.
\n
It began on 8 October last year, when the labour minister told the unions that their exclusive right in collective bargaining was being called into question.
\n\n16 January 2024 — stating that Israel's response does not allow an entire civilian population to be put in an inhuman situation
\n\n\nMee déi Reaktioun vun Israel, déi erlaabt et net, eng ganz Zivillbevëlkerung och an eng onmënschlech Situatioun ze setzen.
\n
But that reaction by Israel does not allow an entire civilian population to be put in an inhuman situation.
\n\n10 June 2025 — criticising the conditions attached to recognition as one-sided
\n\n\nEt gi Konditiounen iwwer Konditiounen un déi palästinensesch Regioun gestallt. Mir hunn net ganz vill héiere vis-à-vis vun Israel.
\n
Condition after condition is put to the Palestinian region. We have not heard very much towards Israel.
\n\n29 October 2025 — calling for continued pressure on Israel
\n\n\nEt ass dowéint extreem wichteg, den Drock op Israel héich ze halen.
\n
It is therefore extremely important to keep the pressure on Israel high.
\n\n30 April 2026 — stating where and by whom the flotilla participants were intercepted
\n\n\nDéi Leit sinn an der Nuecht interceptéiert ginn an internationale Gewässer, mee viru Griicheland, dat heescht op 1.000 Kilomeeter vun Israel, an zwar vun der israeelescher Arméi.
\n
Those people were intercepted during the night in international waters, but off Greece, that is 1,000 kilometres from Israel, and indeed by the Israeli army.
\n\n19 March 2024 — calling for an ambitious position on confiscated Russian funds
\n\n\nMir hunn am Moment eng Diskussioun, wat mat de confisquéierte Fonge geschitt, wou et och wichteg ass, dass mer als Europa an och als Lëtzebuerg eng ambitiéis Positioun vertrieden, fir och déi ze indemniséieren, déi ënnert dësem Krich hei extreem leiden.
\n
We currently have a discussion about what happens with the confiscated funds, where it is also important that we, as Europe and as Luxembourg, take an ambitious position, in order to compensate those who suffer extremely from this war.
\n\n23 January 2025 — arguing that parliament should state a clear position on Ukraine's NATO accession
\n\n\nEch denken, dass mir als Parlament och misste Kloerheet op deem dote Punkt schafen.
\n
I think that we as a parliament should also create clarity on this point.
\n\n4 March 2025 — asking the Prime Minister whether the frozen Russian capital itself, not only its interest, should fund Ukraine's defence
\n\n\nMisst een déi Diskussioun net awer spéitstens elo säit leschtem Freideg nach eng Kéier nei opmaachen a sech net just op déi Interête bezéien, mee och kucken, ob dat Kapital net muss benotzt gi fir d’ukrainesch Defense?
\n
Should we not reopen that discussion at the latest now, since last Friday, and not only look at the interest, but also examine whether that capital must be used for Ukraine's defence?
\n\n24 April 2024 — citing the opinions, in particular the central bank, that doubt the 2 % growth forecast
\n\n\nMee wat de projezéierte Wuesstem vun 2 % am Joer 2024 ugeet, do schreiwe vill vun den Avisen – ech zitéieren elo nëmmen d’Zentralbank –, datt se sech géinge wonneren, wou déi Zuel géing hierkommen.
\n
But as regards the projected growth of 2 % in 2024, many of the opinions, and I quote only the central bank, write that they wonder where that figure comes from.
\n\n18 December 2024 — criticising the government for having no plan to finance its tax cuts
\n\n\nD’Realitéit ass: Dës Regierung huet kee Plang, wéi se dat finanzéiere soll.
\n
The reality is: this government has no plan for how it is to finance that.
\n\n17 December 2025 — criticising the finance minister for spending reserves he does not yet have
\n\n\nDir leet net nëmme keen Apel fir den Duuscht op d’Säit, Dir presst esouguer Äppel, wou Der selwer nach net wësst, wou se sollen hierkommen.
\n
You are not only failing to put an apple aside for the thirst, you are even pressing apples when you do not yet know where they are to come from.
\n\n9 June 2026 — asking the Prime Minister where the money will come from
\n\n\nAlso, Här Premierminister, Ären Optimismus an allen Éieren, mee wou kommen d’Suen hier?
\n
So, Prime Minister, with all respect for your optimism, where does the money come from?
\n\n13 February 2025 — naming constitutional protection as her priority
\n\n\nFir mech ass déi wichtegst Fro dat, dass mer et an eiser Verfassung sollte verankeren, vun deem, wat hei gefuerdert gëtt.
\n
For me the most important of the things called for here is that we should anchor it in our constitution.
\n\n20 January 2026 — stating the share of ambassador posts held by women
\n\n\nWa mer awer dann d’Spëtzt vun der Pyramid kucken, da gesi mer, datt nëmme 24,3 % vun den Ambassadeursposte vu Frae besat sinn.
\n
But if we look at the top of the pyramid, we see that only 24.3% of ambassador posts are held by women.
\n\n20 January 2026 — citing the French quota for first appointments as an example
\n\n\nA Frankräich zum Beispill musse 40 % vun de Primo-nominatione Frae sinn.
\n
In France, for example, 40% of first appointments must be women.
\n\n12 June 2024 — criticising the government's handling of the begging ban debate
\n\n\nDéi ganz Diskussioun war jiddefalls keng Glanzstonn vun der Regierung, an där d’Aarmut an d’Affer vun Ausbeutung kriminaliséiert goufen.
\n
The whole discussion was in any case not a great moment for the government, in which poverty and the victims of exploitation were criminalised.
\n\n12 June 2024 — stating the conclusion of the scientific cell's note on the city regulation
\n\n\nMee hir Konklusioun ass déi, dass dat Reglement, wat Dir an der Stad Lëtzebuerg geholl hutt a wat vum Inneminister confirméiert ginn ass, très vraisemblablement net konform zur Verfassung ass.
\n
But their conclusion is that the regulation you adopted in the City of Luxembourg, and which the Interior Minister confirmed, is very probably not in conformity with the Constitution.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nD’Persounen op der Flucht sollen et esou schwéier wéi méiglech gemaach kréien, heihinner ze kommen.
\n
People who are fleeing are to be made to find it as hard as possible to come here.
\n\n\nHätte mer net déi héich Wunnengspräisser, bräichte mer keng Debatt iwwer méi en héije Mindestloun ze féieren.
