\nSittings: Sitting of 17 December 2025, Sitting of 17 December 2025
\nThe Chamber closed the general debate on the 2026 state budget (PL8600) and the multiannual financial programming 2025-2029 (PL8601), heard the finance minister reply, and voted the general account for 2024 (PL8556) and then both bills, each with dispensation from the second constitutional vote; it rejected a motion by Taina Bofferding (LSAP) asking the government to work out a strategy on new state revenue, and referred two motions by Franz Fayot (LSAP) to the finance committee.
\nDavid Wagner (déi Lénk), criticising the budget as the management of an imaginary status quo:
\n\n\nAn dat ass u sech de grousse Problem: Lëtzebuerg steet viru risegen Ännerungen, mee deen heite Budget ass soss näischt wéi d’Verwaltung vun engem imaginäre Status quo.
\n
And that is really the big problem: Luxembourg faces enormous changes, but this budget is nothing more than the management of an imaginary status quo.
\nSitting of 17 December 2025, David Wagner, déi Lénk
\nDiane Adehm (CSV), stating the share of state spending that goes to social transfers:
\n\n\nDe Grond, firwat ech dat maachen, ass ganz einfach: 46 % vun den Ausgabe vun eisem Staat ginn an d’Sozialtransferten.
\n
The reason why I do this is very simple: 46% of our state's spending goes to social transfers.
\nSitting of 17 December 2025, Diane Adehm, CSV
\nFranz Fayot (LSAP), calling for a plan rather than a belief in perpetual growth:
\n\n\nMir brauchen e Plang an net just e Glawen un den éiwege Wuesstum, deen u sech quasi als Naturgesetz duergestallt gëtt.
\n
We need a plan and not just a belief in eternal growth, which is presented almost as a law of nature.
