Since autumn 2021, three separate petitions have been launched to argue in favour of referenda over the ongoing constitutional revisions. The most recent attempt failed to gather the necessary threshold of 25,000 signatures, same as the two previous ones.
According to the Ministry of State, the latest petition only gathered 964 valid signatures.
In his parliamentary enquiry, MP Kartheiser thus wanted to know if the government can provide a table enlisting the number of people who signed the petitions for the three revisions of the constitutional reform per municipality.
In his response to the enquiry (LUX), Minister of State Xavier Bettel provided a four-page list with municipalities and their respective number of signatures.
The first petition gathered most signatures in Sanem (479), followed by Luxembourg City (373), and Differdange (319). The third one however failed to gather any signatures in a number of municipalities, including Schieren, Grosbous, Flaxweiler, and Esch-sur-Sûre.
