\nGuy Arendt (DP), endorsing the government's position that Luxembourg must invest more in defence:
\n\n\nD’Regierung huet den Eescht vun der Situatioun erkannt a sech kloer dozou positionéiert, dass och Lëtzebuerg seng Verantwortung als responsabelen an zouverlässegen Alliéierten a Partner muss droen an dowéinster méi a seng Verteidegung muss investéieren.
\n
The government has recognised the seriousness of the situation and has clearly positioned itself that Luxembourg too must carry its responsibility as a responsible and reliable ally and partner and must therefore invest more in its defence.
\nSitting of 17 December 2025, Guy Arendt, DP
\nFranz Fayot (LSAP), voicing unease at defence and financial return being advertised together:
\n\n\nDefense a Rendement an engem Saz, do gëtt et engem ëmmer e bësse baang, wann een déi Associatioun do huet.
\n
Defence and return in one sentence, that always makes you a little uneasy when you have that association.
