The split was allegedly caused by a breakdown in cooperation between the hospital group and the Viennese architectural firm, which led to concerns over further delays to the hospital development project.
ADR MP Jeff Engelen said the decision to part ways was justified, adding that trust had broken down between both parties. He said that CHEM had not received answers to numerous questions regarding the project, and had sent a letter to the firm over a month ago in conjunction with submission laws, to which they had not received a satisfactory response. Engelen added that the subcommittee agreed the decision had been fair.
The CSV also expressed understanding for the decision taken by CHEM. MP Marc Spautz told RTL the party had expressed concerns over the architectural firm’s trustworthiness several years ago at the time it was appointed, and they regretted that their misgivings had been proven correct. Spautz said the party would continue to support the project despite fears over potential delays following these errors.
Representatives from Déi Lénk said it was a shame that the split would cause the project to lose both time and money and hoped that the delays could be reduced; however, they underlined that the project was crucial for southern Luxembourg’s hospitals.
