A petition arguing in favour of two home-office days per week for any employee in Luxembourg gathered the necessary 4,500 signatures in the span of just a few hours, meaning that it will be discussed in the Chamber of Deputies.

Eight new petitions were published on Wednesday morning. If a proposal gathers a minimum of 4,500 signatures, it must be debated by MPs in the Chamber of Deputies.

The most popular petition by far argues in favour of two weekly home office days, specifically for cross-border workers. On Thursday morning it had already garnered over 7,500 signatures.

Home office would "significantly reduce traffic jams and improve the well-being of employees by improving their work-life balance", the petitioner argues. The petition also acknowledges that home office is not a solution for everybody, and thus "it is time to find the right balance between the two worlds".

Another petitioner believes that in light of resource issues, taxes on construction projects should be temporarily reduced to 3%.

The remaining petitions are concerned with passports, driving licences, animal welfare, child protection, and the UN Security Council.
