\nDan Biancalana (LSAP), stating a preference for a local police over private security firms:
\n\n\nAn d’ëffentlech Sécherheet, wéi gesot, soll an ëffentlecher Hand sinn a bleiwen. An dofir si mir och méi en faveur vun enger lokaler Police wéi vu private Sécherheetsfirmen.
\n
And public security, as said, should be and stay in public hands. That is why we are more in favour of a local police than of private security firms.
