\nDan Biancalana (LSAP), setting out the balance the speaker wants between security and freedom:
\n\n\nD’Sécherheet ass fundamental wichteg. Mee si dierf net op d’Käschte vun eiser Fräiheet an eise Rechter goen.
\n
Security is fundamentally important. But it must not come at the cost of our freedom and our rights.
\nSitting of 29 October 2025, Dan Biancalana, LSAP
\nTom Weidig (ADR), warning about the effect of the faster authorisation procedure:
\n\n\nEng Simplification administrative ass jo schéin a gutt, mee et heescht awer och, datt een den Iwwerwaachungsstaat elo méi séier an effizient ausbaue kann, wann ee wëll.
\n
Administrative simplification is all well and good, but it also means that the surveillance state can now be built up faster and more efficiently, if one wants to.
