The politician talked about the ways in which his party would have governed the country through the pandemic, emphasising that more responsibility could have been awarded to the people, which would have meant fewer restrictions.
ADR supports the Covid-19 vaccination strategy, but is against a vaccine mandate. The proposed certificate should only be monitored by the government, but not by private people or businesses, MP Kartheiser noted. Furthermore, he noted that he does not support the idea of raising taxes because of the pandemic.
The ADR politician also addressed the Large Scale Testing, which he believes may have been too costly. After all, the government spent €160 million on the project, which is why Kartheiser wants a full report of the procedure. He believes not enough people participated in the voluntary programme.
When it comes to national security, Kartheiser noted that Luxembourg is struggling. He distrust the numbers provided by Minister Henri Kox, and argued that organised begging in the city needs to be stopped. Furthermore, the national institutions for justice and immigration fail to do their jobs, the politician noted. Crime is simply being tolerated, Kartheiser concluded.
ADR also laments that four of the country's political parties do not respect their own promise of a constitutional revision. With the help of CSV, the governing parties are changing institutional procedures without consulting the population. ADR thus insists that a referendum be held.
Kartheiser explained that his party still continues the work of former leader Gast Gibéryen. ADR is a centre-right party, conservative yet social. Comparisons to far-right organisations abroad, such as German AFD, or French Rassemblement National, are strongly refuted.
MP Kartheiser concluded the interview by announcing that he will run for office again in the upcoming Chamber elections.
