\nAlex Donnersbach (CSV), arguing that Europe must provide for its own defence:
\n\n\nSpéitstens elo muss eis bewosst sinn, datt mir an Zukunft selwer fir eis Verteidegung musse suergen.

\nLiz Braz (LSAP), asking that defence money be invested as intelligently as possible so that civil society also benefits:
\n\n\nWa mir nämlech schonn esou vill Suen alljoers an d’Defense investéieren – wat mir och als LSAP absolut agesinn –, da solle mer awer kucken, dass déi Sue méiglechst intelligent investéiert ginn, dass d’Zivillgesellschaft eventuell och eppes vun dësen Investissementer huet.
\n
If we are already investing so much money in defence every year - which we as the LSAP fully accept - then we should make sure that this money is invested as intelligently as possible, so that civil society also gets something out of these investments.
