In Luxembourg, all petitions still pending will be discussed under the next government, i.e., after the legislative elections in October.

The Chamber of Deputies is facing a sort of "petition jam." All pending petitions that have gathered the requisite 4,500 signatures for public deliberation will no longer be able to be publicly debated with the petitioners before the October legislative elections, as planned.

This was announced by the chairwoman of the Petitions Committee, MP Nancy Kemp-Arendt from the Christian Social People's Party (CSV). Kemp-Arendt expressed concerns about the tight timeline, emphasising that no debates should occur in the Chamber of Deputies between the conclusion of the summer recess and the legislative elections.

Consequently, all petitions that remain on hold will be addressed under the subsequent government, i.e., after the October elections.

This announcement actually aligns with the wishes of most petitioners themselves. Many have voiced their preference to be heard by the next Chamber, as they believe their demands stand a better chance of being acknowledged and thoroughly discussed within the framework of a new government.
