Since 1 January 2021, the paper is no longer printed and only published in digital format.

According to the report, the Chamber's administrative offices arranged an internal agreement with Journal officials. Reporter.lu states that the online publication is likely to receive around €1,600 per PDF that it publishes, which could amount to €30,000 per year. The article thus alleges a privileged partnership between both entities. The article further states that the decision was never officially discussed during the presidents' conference.

The practice of publishing parliamentary session reports is not new - the Chamber has done so in conjunction with Luxembourg's daily newspapers for years. In 2020, the budget for subsidising the printing of these reports reached 1.2 million euros, divided between the country's top papers: “Luxemburger Wort”, “Tageblatt”, “Lëtzebuerger Journal” and “Zeitung vum Lëtzebuerger Vollek”. The subsidies were graded according to each newspaper's circulation figures.

The Journal's switch to online-only format now calls this decision into question, said Reporter.lu.

CSV party officials already put forward an official enquiry into the matter following the publication of the article on Monday, following claims that the decision to continue funding the Journal had not been approved by all parties. The CSV demands that the issue be put up for debate next Friday and talks of a precedent.
