Opposition parties ADR, CSV, Pirates, and the Left stressed that they “have had enough.” The argued that it is unacceptable that the Chamber of Deputies is not included in the discussions revolving around the ongoing Covid-19 battle.
The four parties demanded clarity and transparency, citing the dramatic rise of new infections in Luxembourg. MPs Martine Hansen, Gast Gibéryen, Sven Clement, and Marc Baum said they were horrified that the government is leaving Luxembourg’s MPs out in the rain with regard to the communication of virus-related information.
They argued that the Chamber of Deputies and opposition parties in particular cannot support the government in finding solutions if the latter fails to pass information onto them. They for instance demanded to know if there are specific virus clusters.
Gast Gibéryen consequently asked reporters: “What is the government hiding?”
MPs will vote on the new Covid-19 law on Thursday. Opposition parties voiced concern as the original text may no longer be in tune with the alarming recent developments.
