On an LSAP heure d'actualite on Luxembourg's position on the new NATO targets, Liz Braz tabled two motions, the first asking the government not to tie the defence budget to an arbitrary percentage and to decide no further rise above 2 % of gross national income for now, the second asking for a detailed spending trajectory and more transparent NATO accounting; the Chamber rejected motion 1 by 37 to 17 with 6 abstentions and motion 2 by 35 to 25, and it then voted the reclassification of career soldiers into grade B1 (8450) and the extension of the Alliance Ground Surveillance contribution (8485).
Within the same heure d'actualite, deputies from several groups pressed the Defence Minister on how the rise in defence spending would be financed and what it would displace in the state budget; Liz Braz's second motion, asking for a detailed financing trajectory, was rejected by 35 votes to 25.
The Chamber debated and voted two justice bills: 7881, transposing the ECRIS-TCN rules on exchanging criminal record information about third-country nationals, and 8555, reforming judicial organisation, the Constitutional Court and the status of magistrates.
