\nThe Chamber debated and adopted projet de loi 8318 on state aid for the deployment of high-speed fixed and mobile communication networks in underserved areas, by 55 votes to none with 5 abstentions from the ADR.
\nOctavie Modert (CSV), the rapporteur stating the core aim of the bill:
\n\n\nDe Kärgedanke vum Gesetz ass einfach: Jiddwereen, egal wou en am Land wunnt, soll en zouverlässegen a séieren Internetzougang hunn.
\n
The core idea of the law is simple: everyone, wherever they live in the country, should have reliable and fast internet access.
\nSitting of 4 December 2025, Octavie Modert, CSV
\nFrancine Closener (LSAP), arguing that the market alone does not deliver connectivity:
\n\n\nEt ass awer eeben elo net esou, dass de Marché alles reegelt. An déi ultraliberal Approche war nach ni gutt fir all d’Mënschen.
\n
But it is simply not the case that the market regulates everything. And the ultra-liberal approach has never been good for all people.
\nSitting of 4 December 2025, Francine Closener, LSAP
\nDan Hardy (ADR), announcing his party's abstention on health and environmental grounds:
\n\n\nA genee aus deem Grond enthale mir eis bei dësem Gesetzesprojet. D’Gesondheet vun de Mënschen an de Schutz vun eiser Ëmwelt hu fir eis Prioritéit.
\n
And for exactly that reason we abstain on this bill. The health of people and the protection of our environment have priority for us.
