Léon Gloden, representing the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV), highlighted the pressing issue of insufficient local connectivity and the need for bypasses. He criticised Corinne Cahen, the former Minister for the Greater Region from the Democratic Party (DP), for perceived inadequacies in cooperation with neighbouring German regions.
Ben Streff, a member of the Luxembourg Socialist Workers’ Party (LSAP), expressed dissatisfaction with the state of public transportation, emphasising the need for significant improvements to encourage bus usage over car travel. This sentiment was echoed by Carole Hartmann of the DP and Daniel Frères of the Pirate Party, who also advocated for expanding bus routes to central locations in Luxembourg City. In addition, Frères called for more Park and Ride (P&R) facilities, including on the German side of the border.
Chantal Gary from the Green Party (déi Gréng) stressed the positive impact of the RGTR network reform, adding that further adjustments were still to come.
In terms of healthcare, Robi Beissel from the Alternative Democratic Reform Party (adr) expressed concern over the absence of an out-of-hours medical centre (maison medicale) in the east of the country. Gary called for a comprehensive inventory to identify the specific deficiencies and requirements, stressing the priority of securing primary care services.
MP-Mayor Gloden advocated for decentralisation and expanded healthcare offerings in the eastern region, a viewpoint shared by Frères. Both emphasised the prolonged travel times to Luxembourg City, especially in emergencies.
LSAP candidate Streff defended his party’s healthcare policy, noting improvements in waiting times for MRI scans. In contrast, the DP and Carole Hartmann favour a more liberal approach that grants greater autonomy to doctors.
