Our colleagues from RTL talked to Luc Caregari, vice president of the Luxembourgish Association of Professional Journalists (ALJP), ahead of the protest event. He underlined that their demands for better access to information and the one for more transparency are two entirely different matters.
Caregari emphasised that it remains difficult to receive information from Luxembourgish administrations, a fact which even his colleagues abroad have noticed by now. He thus explained that the free access to information has long been practiced in all other EU countries as a basic right, which is still not the case in the Grand Duchy.
