“There’s a lot in play”, said Sam Tanson, the party’s lead candidate, at the press conference. For the Greens, the recent climate and housing crises happened in part because nobody in politics looked further ahead. Should the party stay in the government, Tanson promised to change things.
The press conference was held under the motto “it does matter who you vote for.” Tanson summarised that voters can either have a government that takes steps back, stays put or that looks ahead.
She cited environmental protection as an example. 83% of the country’s water sources have been protected as a result of the party’s work, she claimed.
The party also pointed to the installation of the tramway in Luxembourg City, which the Greens believe should be extended to reach Esch-Alzette.
Deputy Djuna Bernard praised Henri Kox’s housing policies. In the next legislature, the party wants to extend its social housing programme. This would be achieved by buying already existing construction projects thereby supporting struggling construction companies.
Other issues highlighted included implementing basic coverage for children, implementing a system to free up more building land, expandind parental and family leaves and guaranteeing a right to working part-time.
