The point here is that we as a parliament take a clear position.
\n\n29 October 2025 — telling the minister his speech left the impression that Luxembourg's foreign policy has no direction

\n
Yesterday you toured the globe, but one had the impression that Luxembourg's foreign policy lacks a compass.
\n\n20 January 2026 — calling the abduction of Nicolás Maduro a violation of international law by the United States

\n
It is a violation of international law by the United States. Full stop!
\n\n25 April 2024 — asking that future infrastructure debates be linked to the national mobility plan
\n\n\nBen, ech géif mer wënschen, datt mer an Zukunft, wa mer iwwert déi grouss Infrastrukturprojeten an der Chamber schwätzen, dann de Lien vun deem ville Stroossebau, awer vläicht och deem een oder aneren Eisebunnsprojet, mat der Ëmsetzung vum PNM maachen.
\n
Well, I would like us in future, when we talk about the large infrastructure projects in the Chamber, to make the link between all this road building, and perhaps one or another rail project, and the implementation of the PNM.
\n\n21 January 2025 — stating that higher public charging prices remove the advantage of electric mobility
\n\n\nHei geet et drëms, dass mat där Erhéijung vun de Präisser op den ëffentleche Bornen déi Avantagen an der Elektromobilitéit dann och am ëffentleche Raum ewechfalen.
\n
What this is about is that, with that rise in prices at the public charging points, the advantages of electric mobility in public space fall away.
\n\n10 February 2026 — questioning the minister's idea of a new airport
\n\n\nEch froe mech do schonn: Ass dat eng strateegesch Iddi oder éischter en Auswee, fir net mussen déi richteg Fro ze stellen?
\n
I do ask myself: is that a strategic idea, or rather a way out of having to ask the right question?
\n\n29 April 2026 — criticising the government for raising the budget without questioning the system
\n\n\nAn dofir ass meng Kritick och ganz kloer: Mir erhéijen de Budget, mee mir stellen de System eigentlech net richteg a Fro.
\n
And therefore my criticism is very clear: we are raising the budget, but we are not really questioning the system.
\n\n20 November 2024 — rejecting a fortress Europe and calling for legal migration routes
\n\n\nMir musse Maueren ofbauen a méi legal a sécher Weeër schafen. Mir wëlle keng Festung Europa!
\n
We must take down walls and create more legal and safe routes. We do not want a fortress Europe!
\n\n20 November 2024 — arguing that Europe needs migration for demographic and labour reasons
\n\n\nOuni Migratioun wäerte mir laangfristeg eise Liewensstandard an eis Liewensqualitéit net hale kënnen!
\n
Without migration we will not be able to keep our standard of living and our quality of life in the long run!

\n\n\nDrëttens géif ech awer gäre soen, dass eis dat Allerwichtegst an dëser Motioun feelt, nämlech datt d’Chamber an déi dote wichteg Debatt matagebonne gëtt.
\n
Thirdly, I would like to say that the most important thing is missing from this motion, namely that the Chamber is involved in this important debate.
\n\n12 February 2025 — calling for the EU to answer US tariffs with tariffs of its own
\n\n\nWann Tariffer kommen, da muss d’EU mat Tariffer äntwerten, och wa mir dat eigentlech guer net wëllen.
\n
If tariffs come, then the EU must answer with tariffs, even though we do not want that at all.
\n\n29 October 2025 — criticising the EU-US trade deal
\n\n\nDe sougenannten „Deal“ tëscht der EU an den USA war keen akzeptabelt Verhandlungsresultat – dat war eng Erpressung.

The so-called deal between the EU and the USA was not an acceptable negotiating result: it was blackmail.
\n\n14 May 2024 — arguing that recognition of Palestine is a precondition for a two-state solution
\n\n\nD’Unerkennung vu Palästina ass deemno eng Prekonditioun, fir eng Zweestaateléisung ze kréien.
\n
Recognition of Palestine is therefore a precondition for a two-state solution.
\n\n12 February 2025 — arguing that this situation is reason enough to recognise Palestine
\n\n\nA wann et nach eng Ursaach gebraucht hätt fir d’Unerkennung vu Palästina, dann ass et jo awer wuel déi doten.
\n
And if another reason for recognising Palestine were needed, then this is surely it.
\n\n16 October 2025 — arguing against dropping possible sanctions now that a ceasefire holds
\n\n\nD’Situatioun ass ze fragill, fir elo eventuell Sanktiounen ewechzeleeën.

\n\n19 March 2026 — explaining what the motion asks the government to do
\n\n\nAn där heiter Motioun fuerdere mer d’Regierung op, bei der Schafung vun engem speziellen internationale Geriicht derbäi ze sinn, dat d’Verbriechen am Krich géint d’Ukrain soll opschaffen.
\n
In this motion we call on the government to take part in the creation of a special international court to deal with the crimes in the war against Ukraine.
\n\n25 April 2024 — stating that the projects were prepared under the previous government

For road building projects, for example, we can see an average of 21 years between planning and completion.
\n\n21 January 2025 — criticising the absence of a plan for the state’s historic buildings
\n\n\nWell ech fannen, dass dee Projet hei eigentlech dat beschte Beispill derfir ass, datt mer eigentlech guer kee Plang hunn, wat mer mat eisen historesche Gebaier a mat eisem Patrimoine maachen!
\n
Because I think this project is actually the best example of the fact that we have no plan at all for what we do with our historic buildings and our heritage.
\n\n29 April 2026 — criticising the irony of the most expensive building going to the ministry that asks others to save
\n\n\nAn et ass net ouni Ironie, dass dat grad fir dee Ministère ass, deen amgaangen ass, deenen anere Ministèren am Moment dauernd ze soen, si solle wannechgelift spueren.
\n
And it is not without irony that this is precisely for the ministry that is constantly telling the other ministries at the moment that they should please save.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nEch sinn och d’accord dermat, datt mer de Lëtzebuerger, déi am Ausland liewen, sollen entgéintkomme bei verschiddenen administrative Prozeduren an do och Vereinfachunge sichen an hinnen hëllefen, gradesou wéi mer d’Walbedeelegung sollten erliichteren.
\n
I also agree that we should accommodate Luxembourgers living abroad in various administrative procedures, look for simplifications there and help them, just as we should make voting easier.
\n\n\nReagéiere mir net ëmmer eréischt dann, wann d’Plazen net méi duer ginn oder d’Bauten net méi sécher sinn?
\n
Do we not always react only once the places are no longer enough or the buildings are no longer safe?
\n\n\nMir si ganz kloer fir eng gemeinsam Verdeedegungspolitick an der EU a laangfristeg fir eng europäesch Arméi.
\n
We are very clearly for a common defence policy in the EU and, in the long term, for a European army.
\n\n\nDe Bréifdréier erfëllt hei eng wichteg Roll beim gesellschaftlechen Zesummenhalt, besonnesch bei Leit, déi aleng liewen, oder bei deene mat wéinege soziale Kontakter.
\n
The postman fulfils an important role here in social cohesion, especially for people who live alone or who have few social contacts.
\n\n\nDat war deemools de Wonsch, virun 20, 25 Joer, fir dass awer eng demokratesch Kontroll vun dem Parlament kéint stattfannen iwwer alleguerten déi Projeten, déi beim Staat realiséiert ginn.
\n
That was the wish back then, 20 or 25 years ago, so that parliament could still exercise democratic control over all the projects the State carries out.
\n\n\nEch hunn allerdéngs net eent héieren, firwat mer se net sollte stëmmen.
\n
I did not, however, hear a single argument for why we should not vote for it.
